Medical Conditions - Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Reduced platelet count characterizes idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or immune thrombocytopenic purpura despite normal bone marrow functions and the absence of other causes. Purple or red bruises and an increased bleeding tendency are the two unique clinical features of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. In addition, petechiae in the hands and legs, nasal bleeding, bleeding from the gums, and menorrhagia are the associated symptoms. Steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, platelet transfusion, thrombopoietin receptor agonists, and splenectomy are a few treatment modalities for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
