What is the treatment for TTP and HUS which we should know for Step 2?

I have seen different things listed in different texts...

Could anyone please clarify the proper protocol/management/treatment?

Thanks.

Not sure about TTP but for HUS isn't the best treatment plasmaphresis

  #3

Plasmapheresis for TTP
And Antibiotics contraindicated in HUS..

Anything else??

Kaplan notes doesn't mention anything for these two...
