Thrombocytopenic Purpura

MGUS

 

Thrombocytopenic purpura involves reduced platelet levels, which are critical for blood clotting. Low platelet counts increase the risk of bleeding, with symptoms such as easy bruising, purple skin spots, and nose or gum bleeding.

There are two main forms: Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (autoimmune cause) and Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (rarer and more severe).

At HPA Health Group, we diagnose and treat thrombocytopenic purpura using advanced methods. Treatments include corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or, in severe cases, splenectomy. Continuous monitoring is vital, especially to prevent the risk of internal bleeding.
