An overview of ITP, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. This disease is charecterized by a low platelet count. It is commonly found on a routine blood test. Symptoms include abnormal bruising, nose bleeds, heavy menstrual periods, or small marks on the legs called petechiae. In this disease the body is destroying the platelets. Treatements include steroids, and platelet transfusion when the platelet count is very low, or there is active bleeding. Dr. Steven Fein, Hematologist.
