How to treat immune thrombocytopenia

The treatment of immune thrombocytopenia, also known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, includes general treatment, medication, and surgery. 1. General treatment: It includes limiting activities, avoiding trauma, and avoiding drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel, which can affect platelet function. 2. Drug treatment: patients with platelet count <30×10⁹/L, or combined with bleeding symptoms, can consider using hormonal drugs such as prednisone and dexamethasone for treatment. If the hormone treatment is ineffective, or belongs to the chronic refractory immune thrombocytopenia patients, can consider the use of azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, vincristine and other immunosuppressants for treatment. In addition, the drug Eltrombopag, TPO, interferon can also be considered. 3. Surgery: For patients who are not treated with the above medications, as well as patients with severe and life-threatening bleeding symptoms, splenectomy is feasible when necessary. Splenectomy is the most effective treatment for this disease, so patients with the above conditions should undergo splenectomy as soon as possible. Once immune thrombocytopenia occurs, it is recommended that the patient should consult a doctor in time and be treated accordingly under the guidance of a professional doctor. All the above drugs should be used under the guidance of professional doctors.
