A graphic representation of our patient's platelet counts and hemoglobin with important timestamps during her clinical course being highlighted by the drop arrows. Almost a month elapsed since initiation of daily plasmapheresis prior to normalization of the platelet counts.

Complete blood count (CBC) revealed a hemoglobin of 7.9 g/dL with mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of 97.2 fL with platelets less than 10,000/uL (Figure 1).
A graphic representation of our patient's LDH and creatinine levels with important timestamps during her clinical course being highlighted by the drop arrows. Of note, despite resolution of hemolysis, her dialysis requirement persisted with subsequent kidney biopsy confirming chronic kidney failure secondary to thrombotic microangiopathy.
