In this episode of The Hematology Podcast, we will delve into the complex world of thrombotic microangiopathy, or TMA. This condition encompasses a group of disorders characterized by small blood clots forming in the smallest blood vessels, leading to various complications. Diagnosing TMA can be particularly challenging due to its overlapping symptoms with other conditions and the need for specialized tests.

In today’s episode, we have the honor of welcoming Professor Riitta Lassila to the studio. Professor Lassila is a renowned expert in hematology with extensive experience in researching and treating TMA. She currently serves at the Helsinki University Hospital in Finland, where she leads the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research Unit. Her groundbreaking work has significantly advanced our understanding of TMA and its management.
