Immune thrombocytopenia is not a major medical condition.
Immune thrombocytopenia is also called primary immune thrombocytopenia. It is characterized by a decrease in platelets, normal white blood cells and red blood cells, and a bone marrow aspiration, in which the megakaryocytes tend to be impaired in maturation.
If primary immune thrombocytopenia occurs in childhood, it has a higher rate of spontaneous recovery. In adults, the cure rate is lower.
The first line of treatment involves hormones or gammaglobulin, while the second line of treatment includes Eltrombopag, thrombopoietin, splenectomy, and immunosuppressants.
Attention should also be paid to diet, a mild and light diet is preferred, avoiding oily, spicy and heavily salted foods to avoid increasing the metabolic burden on the body.
