Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) description

Autoammore destruction of platelets

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) labs and signs

Bleeding gums, easy bruising, kidney bleeding


Bone marrow analysis


low platelets with all other causes R/0

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) TX

High dose corticosteroids


IV gamma globulin


platelet transfusion

Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia TX

Give Argatroban or Lepiratin


Need bone marrow aspiration to distinguish from ITP

DIC patho

Coagulation factors are used in clotting the thrombin also activates the fibrinolytic system and dissolves clots into fibrin degredation products (FDP)


Results in clotting and diffuse bleeding High mortality

DIC Labs

Platetet <150


Fibrinogen < 170


Low RBC


*Increased FDP > 45


PT >19


PTT >42


D-Dimer elevated

DIC transfusion products and rationale

Platelet = thrombocytopenia


FFP= replace clotting factors


Cryoppt = replace fibrinogen

Sideroblastic anemia

Microcytic


normal TIBC
