    Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

    Uploaded by

    Andrea Marie T. Artajo-Boherom
    Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by bruising, heavy menstrual bleeding, and small red dots on the skin due to low platelet counts, though most patients have no symptoms. Treatment involves immunosuppressant drugs, intravenous immune globulin, or splenectomy to increase platelet counts, while nurses monitor for bleeding and provide general care for thrombocytopenia.
