Immune thrombocytopenia

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common of the hemorrhagic diseases caused by thrombocytopenia in children. It usually occurs between the ages of 5 and 7 years old and at both sexes. It is difficult to predict ITP basing on bleeding because some severe thrombocytopenia cases have slight purpura or ecchymoses. This study aims to describe the clinical and hematological features of childhood immune thrombocytopenia.

Coagulation Disorders Associated with Liver Failure The liver is central to hemostasis because it is the site of synthesis and clearance of most procoagulant and natural anticoagulant proteins and of essential components of the fibrinolytic system. Liver failure is associated with a high risk of bleeding due to deficient synthesis of procoagulant factors and enhanced fibrinolysis. Thrombocytopenia is common in patients with liver disease and may be due to congestive splenomegaly (hypersplenism), or immune-mediated shortened platelet life span (primary biliary cirrhosis).

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura: Treatment The treatment of ITP utilizes drugs that decrease reticuloendothelial uptake of the antibody-bound platelet and/or decrease antibody production. However, the diagnosis of ITP does not necessarily mean that treatment must be instituted. Patients with platelet counts 30,000/µL appear not to have increased mortality related to the thrombocytopenia.
