Purpura may be a hematologic disorder or secondary to a non-hematologic disorder.
Purpura refers to bleeding manifestations of the skin and mucous membranes with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm, which can be caused by thrombocytopenia and abnormal coagulation. Many diseases may present with purpura, but not always hematologic diseases.
Among them, primary immune thrombocytopenia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia and other hematologic diseases can lead to purpura. Serious liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and other non-hematologic diseases can also lead to purpura.
It is recommended that patients with purpura go to the hematology department in time to improve bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, antinuclear antibody spectrum, blood routine, coagulation function and other tests to clarify the cause of the disease, and then under the guidance of the physician for the cause of the disease treatment.
