Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), also known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, is an autoimmune disease characterized by a low platelet count (less than 100 x109/L) lasting for more than three months.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!There are two kinds of immune thrombocytopenic purpura: acute and chronic.
Typically, acute ITP is seen in children following a viral infection while adults exhibit the chronic form.
About 20% of children with acute ITP progress to develop chronic ITP.
Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is also classified as primary type (idiopathic) and secondary type (associated with conditions such as lupus, hepatitis and HIV) depending on the etiology.
Anti-platelet antibodies bind to surface proteins on platelets, causing splenic sequestration and phagocytosis by mononuclear macrophages, decreasing platelet life span.
Insufficient compensation from increased platelet synthesis by bone marrow cells leads to reduction in the number of circulating platelets causing thrombocytopenia.
Clinically, the majority of the cases are asymptomatic. However, a few people may occasionally present with mild symptoms such as petechiae, purpura, and epistaxis.
Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is a diagnosis of exclusion. CBC, coagulation panel and bone marrow biopsy help in differential diagnosis.
Symptoms of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura:
Diagnosis:
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ICD 10- D69.3).
Allopathic treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Allopathic: Use of corticosteroids, IVIG or anti-D immunoglobulins is indicated as first line of treatment for patients with non-life-threatening symptoms. Children with little or no symptoms can be managed with observation alone regardless of platelet count.
Second-line treatments such as use of thrombopoietin receptor agonists, rituximab and splenectomy may be recommended to manage chronic/severe cases.4 Patients with life-threatening complications such as gastrointestinal hemorrhages and neurological symptoms should receive immediate platelet transfusions and haemostatic control interventions when necessary.
Studies suggest that the primary response to corticosteroid therapy is significant only in 15-20% of the cases and splenectomy carries both surgical and anesthetic risks.1 Hence, if an alternative therapy that provides an effective and safe management of the disease may be available, it would be welcome.
