Interventions
This is an observational study of previously diagnosed and treated microangiopathic thrombocytopenia (MAT) patients. MAT is a rare collection of disorders caused by the formation of intravascular aggregates of platelets resulting in microcirculatory thrombosis, red blood cell destruction and vital end-organ damage. The study will collect clinical and laboratory data to assess the disease characteristics, laboratory features, treatment strategies employed, and clinical outcome. Each participant will be observed for 6 months once they are enrolled in the study.
