Common symptoms of IMT include lethargy, anorexia, pyrexia, haemorrhage, and bruising. [1] Destruction of platelets occurs when immunoglobins attach to the surface of the platelet, which causes macrophages to initiate phagocytosis. [2] IMT is differentiated from other forms of thrombocytopaenia by the immune-mediated component of the condition. [3]
Type 1 von Willebrand Disease in dogs. Type 1 von Willebrand Disease is the most common type, and also the mildest. It occurs when dogs have a mild deficiency in all the proteins making up their ...
General signs and symptoms include depression, fever, weight loss, loss of appetite, loss of hair or fur and vomiting. Lymphoma is the most common cancerous cause of hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels) in dogs. [9] It can lead to the above signs and symptoms plus increased water drinking, increased urination, and cardiac arrhythmias.
Thrombocytopenia* is a common condition in dogs characterized by low platelet counts. Platelets are used in clotting the blood, so dogs with this condition may have spontaneous bleeding or prolonged bleeding following surgery, injury, or during an estrous cycle .

Platelets which have been bound by antibodies are taken up by macrophages in the spleen (which have Fc receptors), and so removal of the spleen reduces platelet destruction. The procedure is potentially risky in ITP cases due to the increased possibility of significant bleeding during surgery.
Due to underlying diseases that destroy the spleen (autosplenectomy), e.g. sickle-cell disease. Celiac disease : unknown physiopathology. [ 6 ] In a 1970 study, [ 7 ] it was the second most common cause of abnormalities of red blood cells linked to hyposplenism, after surgical splenectomy.
