  2. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

    One common definition of thrombocytopenia requiring emergency treatment is a platelet count below 50,000/μL. [5] Thrombocytopenia can be contrasted with the conditions associated with an abnormally high level of platelets in the blood – thrombocythemia (when the cause is unknown), and thrombocytosis (when the cause is known). [6] [7]

    For mild cases, careful observation may be sufficient. However, in instances of very low platelet counts or significant bleeding, treatment options may include corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, anti-D immunoglobulin, or immunosuppressive medications.

    Due to the high mortality of untreated TTP, a presumptive diagnosis of TTP is made even when only microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia are seen, and therapy is started. Transfusion is contraindicated in thrombotic TTP, as it fuels the coagulopathy. Since the early 1990s, plasmapheresis has become the treatment of choice for TTP.

  6. 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 ).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune-mediated...

    Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a novel treatment for immune-mediated diseases and little research has been done for the effectiveness of TPE and patients with IMT. [15] TPE requires removing the patient's plasma which contains antibodies and replacing it with fluids such as sodium chloride , frozen plasma, packed red blood cells, and ...

    In mice and nonhuman primate studies Neumega has shown potent thrombopoietic activity in compromised hematopoiesis, including moderately to severely myelosuppressed animals. In these studies, Neumega improved platelet nadirs and accelerated platelet recoveries compared to controls. In animal studies oprelvekin also has non-hematopoietic activities.

  9. Fostamatinib - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fostamatinib

    Fostamatinib is a drug used to treat adults with low platelet count due to chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) when a prior treatment for ITP has not worked well enough. Chronic immune thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune bleeding disorder where the blood doesn't clot as it should because of a low platelet count. [4] [6] [3]
