Treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenia purpura

Herbal Treatment for ITP(Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura)

Posted on December 31, 2019December 31, 2019 By Dr. Vikram Chauhan No Comments on Herbal Treatment for ITP(Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura)

Introduction

The acronym ITP stands for Immune Thrombocytopenia and has replaced the term idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpura. ITP is a rare disorder and is caused by a dysregulation of the immune system therefore the term Idiopathic stands invalid internationally. In addition to this, the term purpura is also misleading as one-third of the newly diagnosed ITP patients have no bleeding but only low platelet counts.

Immune Thrombocytopenia purpura

Classification Of ITP:

ITP can be both primary and secondary types.

Primary ITP

The main clinical problem of primary ITP lies in the increased risk of bleeding, although bleeding symptoms may not always be present. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia (platelet count in peripheral blood<100 109/L). With no other causes or disorders that can be associated with thrombocytopenia.

Secondary ITP

All forms of immune thrombocytopenia except for primary ITP.The secondary form of the disease may occur in association with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, immunodeficient states, lymphoproliferative disorders, viral infections, and therapies using drugs such as quinidine, sulfa and heparin.

ITP is also classified as acute or chronic forms.

Acute, Relapsing ITP

in some cases, it is observed that thrombocytopenia will redevelop months or years after the first episode has resolved. Viral Infections actually precipitate these relapses or recurrences.

Chronic ITP

It is defined as ongoing thrombocytopenia after a 6 month period.
