  2. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_thrombocytopenic...

    Initial treatment usually consists of the administration of corticosteroids, a group of medications that suppress the immune system. The dose and mode of administration is determined by platelet count and whether there is active bleeding: in urgent situations, infusions of dexamethasone or methylprednisolone may be used, while oral prednisone ...

  3. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

    Oral petechiae/purpura - immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Many cases of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), also known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, can be left untreated, and spontaneous remission (especially in children) is not uncommon. However, counts under 50,000/μL are usually monitored with regular blood tests, and those ...

  4. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heparin-induced...

    Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is the development of thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count), due to the administration of various forms of heparin, an anticoagulant. HIT predisposes to thrombosis (the abnormal formation of blood clots inside a blood vessel ).

  5. Evans syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evans_syndrome

    Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is a condition in which platelets are destroyed by an autoimmune process. Platelets are a component of blood that contribute to the formation of blood clots in the body to prevent bleeding. The syndrome was first described in 1951 by R. S. Evans and colleagues. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_alloimmune...

    Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAITP, NAIT, NATP or NAT) is a disease that affects babies in which the platelet count is decreased because the mother's immune system attacks her fetus' or newborn's platelets. A low platelet count increases the risk of bleeding in the fetus and newborn.

    caused by auto-immune disorders, for example Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and characterized by low platelet count, but high MPV (mean platelet volume). [7] Caused by glycoprotein abnormalities: Bernard–Soulier syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome; Caused by calpain defect: Montreal platelet syndrome
