Hope you are doing well,three month ago there were red spots

on my fathers body and blood in his stool we brought him to hospital

and the blood platelets were dropped to 3 and they giving him units of

platelets and blood,and he started to have 50Mg Prednisone each day

and the platelets counts was 120, 2 weeks ago doctor told us to

lowerthe Prednisone to 40Mg and he said that theydont want to give him

more Prednisone and they are going to have a infusion for him ( IVIG

-Anti Body) and after that hopefully he doesn't need to continue the

Prednisone.After reducing the Prednisone the platelets counts was

dropping to over 30 and they started the IVIG on saturday but after

Dear Amir,

A Loving Atma Namaste!

 

MEDICAL BACKGROUND

 

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)is a blood disorder characterized by an

abnormal decrease in the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are cells

in the blood that help stop bleeding. A decrease in platelets can result in

easy bruising, bleeding gums, and internal bleeding.

 

" Idiopathic " means the cause is unknown.

" Thrombocytopenia " means a decreased number of platelets in the blood.

" Purpura " refers to the purple discoloring of the skin, as with a bruise.

 

There are two forms of ITP, including the following:

 

- Acute Thrombocytopenic Purpura

This is most commonly seen in young children (2 to 6 years old). The symptoms

may follow a viral illness, such as chickenpox. Acute ITP usually has a very

sudden onset and the symptoms usually disappear in less than six months (often

within a few weeks). The disorder usually does not recur. Acute ITP is the most

common form of the disorder.

 

- Chronic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

The onset of the disorder can happen at any age, and the symptoms can last a

minimum of six months, or several years. Adults have this form more often than

children, but it does affect adolescents. Females haveit two to three times more

often than males. Chronic ITP can recur often and requires continual follow-up

care with a blood specialist (hematologist).

 

Idiopathic means no known cause. However, when a cause

can be identified, it may be a result of the following:

 

medications (including over-the-counter medications)

infection

pregnancy

immune disorders

 

Symptoms:

Normal platelet count is in the range of 150,000 to 450,000.

With ITP, the platelet count is less than 100,000.

By the time significant bleeding occurs, the

child may have a platelet count of less than 10,000.

The lower the platelet count, the greater the risk of bleeding.

 

Because platelets help stop bleeding, the symptoms of

ITP are related to increased bleeding. However, each

person may experience symptoms differently.

 

Symptoms may include the following:

 

Purpura - the purple color of the skin after blood has

" leaked " under it. A bruise is blood under the skin.

Persons with ITP may have large bruises from no known

trauma. Bruises can appear at the joints of elbows and

knees just from movement.

 

Petechia - tiny red dots under the skin that are a

result of very small bleeds.

 

Nosebleeds

 

Bleeding in the mouth and/or in and around the gums

 

Blood in the vomit, urine, or stool

 

Bleeding in the head - this is the most dangerous

symptom of ITP. Any head trauma that occurs when there

are not enough platelets to stop the bleeding can be

life threatening.

 

The symptoms of ITP may resemble other Hematology &

Blood Disorders or medical problems. Always consult

your physician for a diagnosis.

 

If it is a medication that is the suspected cause,

discontinuation or changing the medication may be

necessary.

 

If infection is the cause for ITP, then treatment of

the infection may result in higher platelet counts.

 

Splenectomy

In some cases, the patient's spleen may need to be

removed since this is the site of platelet destruction.

This is considered more often in persons with chronic

ITP to decrease the rate of platelet destruction.

 

Lifestyle changes, such as the following:

-use of protective gear

-avoidance of certain activities

INFORMATION ON MEDICATION

 

Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid drug that is particularly effective

as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. It

is used to treat certain inflammatory diseases. It is usually taken orally

but can be delivered by intramuscular injection or intravenous injection. It

has a mainly glucocorticoid effect. Prednisone is a prodrug that is

converted by the liver into prednisolone, which is the active drug and also

a steroid.

 

Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is a blood product administered

intravenously. It contains the pooled IgG (immunoglobulin (antibody) G )

extracted from the plasma of over one thousand blood donors. IVIG's effects

last between 2 weeks and 3 months. It is mainly used as treatment in three

major categories:

 

- Immune deficiencies - Immune deficiencies such as X-linked

agammaglobulinemia, hypogammaglobulinemia (primary immune deficiencies), and

acquired compromised immunity conditions ([secondary immune deficiencies),

featuring low antibody levels.

- Inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

- Acute infections.
