2023年6月8日 · Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an illness that can lead to bruising and bleeding. Low levels of the cells that help blood clot, also known as platelets, most often cause the bleeding. Once known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, ITP can cause purple bruises.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a blood disorder characterized by a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are cells in the blood that help stop bleeding. A decrease in platelets can cause easy bruising, bleeding gums, and internal bleeding.

2023年8月24日 · Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder that keeps your blood from clotting. ITP can be chronic, meaning treatment eases symptoms but doesn’t cure it.

2024年5月5日 · Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a low platelet count, purpura, and hemorrhagic episodes. ITP without an underlying disorder is known as primary ITP. Secondary ITP typically has an external cause, including drugs and other autoimmune conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus.

2023年6月8日 · People with mild immune thrombocytopenia might need only regular platelet checks. Children usually improve without treatment. Most adults with ITP will need treatment at some point. The condition often gets worse or lasts long, also known as chronic.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP, also called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, immune thrombocytopenic purpura) is an acquired thrombocytopenia caused by autoantibodies against platelet antigens. It is one of the more common causes of thrombocytopenia in otherwise asymptomatic adults.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder usually without anemia or leukopenia. Typically, it is chronic in adults, but it is usually acute and self-limited in children. Spleen size is normal in the absence of another underlying condition.

ITP affects approximately four to eight per 100,000 children under the age of 15 each year in the U.S. There are two forms of ITP: Acute thrombocytopenic purpura — This is most commonly seen in young children (2 to 6 years old). The symptoms may follow a viral illness, such as chickenpox.

2023年3月15日 · Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder. In autoimmune disorders your body makes proteins called antibodies which damage another part of your body. In ITP the antibodies are made against platelets. Once the antibodies have attached to platelets, the platelets do not work so well.
