Hi @apb. TTP and ITP are both blood disorders in which there can be potential clotting issues. But they are not the same disease as there are differences between them.
I found two good articles which will help to explain the difference between them.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare disorder that affects your blood’s tendency to clot. In this disease, tiny clots form throughout your body

ITP, or immune thrombocytopenia, is a blood clotting disorder due to a low amount of platelets

I hope this is helpful for you.
