IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC
PURPURA (ITP)

What is ITP
Immune / idiophatic
thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a
bleeding disorder in which the blood
doesnt clot as it should, this is due
to the deficient of blood cell
fragments called platelet or
thrombocytes

 Platelets are small blood cells that alias functions

as blood clotting factors
Platelets have an important function in
preventing and stopping bleeding.
Normal number of platelets in the body is from
150,000 to 400,000 / cubic mm. Loss or damage
to one of the blood cells that cause
thrombocytopenia will cause noise in the system
due to platelet hemostasis with vascular system
and blood coagulation factors simultaneously
involved in maintaining normal hemostasis

What are the types of ITP ?

1. Acute ITP
generally lasts less than 6 month. It mainly
occurs in children, both boy and girls,
and idiophatic TP is the most common type of
TP it often occurs after an infection from virus
2. Chroic TP lasts around 6 month or more than
6 month . It mainly in adults. Women are 2-3
times more likely to be affected by chronic TP

Bleeding
(most important clinical manifestation of ITP
petechiae
ecchymoses
epistaxis (spontaneous bleeding from nose)
gingival bleeding
menorrhagia
Disabling fatigue
Proteinuria/ hematuria
Abdomonal pain
nausea, vomiting
fever

Diagnostic tests

Laboratory
o Platelets (often <20000-30000 / MCL) and normal
blood cells.
o Bleeding Time (BT, Bleeding Time) prolong
o The period of prothrombin (PT, Prothrombin
Time): normal
o Partial Prothrombin Time (PTT, Partial PT): normal
o Examination of peripheral blood deletion:
- Leukocytes, hemoglobin in normal circumstances
unless there is bleeding.
- Platelets greater (younger), there is no collection
of platelets

 The bone marrow in patient with ITP contains normal or

increase number of megacaryocytes

Commond medications used to treat

idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Corticosteroid
the first line of therapy is acorticosteroid, usually
PREDNISON which can help raise your platelel count by
decreasing the activity of your immune system.
once your platelet counts is back to a safe level, you
can gradually discontinue taking the drug under the
direction of your doctor. In general, this takes about two
to six weeks

Dose : oral tablets 0,1 -2mg/kg/day in devided

doses 1 to 4 times/day
IV IM 0,1 2mg/kg/day in devided doses
1 to 4 times/day

 Intravenous immue globulin (IVIG)

dose intravenous immunoglobulin 1mg/kg/day
for <5000/ml
2-3 days in a row is used when there is iternal
bleeding (platelets

If you have critical bleeding or need to quickly

increase your blood count before surgery, you
may receive medications such as immune
globulin given inravenously.these medications
are quick and effective

 High dose steroids

therapy ITP patiets can be used in additional
prednison to DEXAMETHASONE oral higedose
40mg/day repeated every 28days for 6 cycles
high dose METYLPREDNISOLONE can given to
childre and adults with ITP resistant to dose
prednison therapy

 Anti D iv
the doseof anti D 50-75mg/kb/day
mechanisme of action of anti-D is the
destruction of red bloods cells of
rhesus D-positive that specifically
grated in the spleen
