Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a low platelet count, purpura, and hemorrhagic episodes. ITP without an underlying disorder is known as primary ITP. Secondary ITP typically has an external cause, including drugs and other autoimmune conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus. Most children with ITP have spontaneous remission within a few weeks or months, rarely requiring splenectomy. However, spontaneous remission in adults is uncommon, necessitating splenectomy after a period of attempting medical therapy. Understanding the nuances of this condition, current evidence-based practices, and emerging therapeutic strategies helps improve patient outcomes.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners’ proficiency in evaluating and managing ITP. Participants gain a deeper insight into the condition’s pathophysiology, diagnostic process, and treatment options. Learners are equipped to collaborate within an interprofessional team caring for patients with ITP.
