m Vascular system
= Injured vessel initiates vasoconstriction
@ Platelet System
= Injured vessel exposes collagen that initiates platelet
agoregation and help form plug
| protein factors of intrinsic and extrinsic pathways produce a
permanent fibrin plug
2.Mortality rate from hemorrhage is
approximately 1% in children and 5% in adult
3.Increase risk of severe bleeding in adult ITP
4.Spontaneous remission
: occure in more than 80 % in children
Fewer Platelets than normal.
Two mature megakaryocytes; one with a very high N/C
ratio, the other with a very low N/C ratio.
Two bare megakaryocyte nuclear masses
3.Increase megakaryocytes in BM
4.No other cause of thromb
Treatment & Prognosis
Acute ITP
1.Self remission 80 %
2.Platelet transfusion in severe bleeding
3.Corticosteroid therapy within 3-4 weeks
4.No response to corticosteroid > 6 months (15 %)
> consider Splenectomy
CO (6 SEE
1.Complete remission (10-20 %)
2.Corticosteroid therapy to reduce phagocytic activity of
RE system & suppress antibody production
3.Consider Splenectomy :
-No response to high dose steroid
-Cerebral hemorrhage
m Fulminant and lethal disorder
= Characterised by the formation of hyaline
microthrombi within the microvasculatu:
throughout the body
= The thrombi is composed of platelets and fibrin.
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic
Purpura
= A classic pentad of signs:
= Microangiopathic hemolytic
= Thrombocytopenia
= Neurologic dysfunction
= Renal failure
m Fever
= Incidence =4/million/yea
= Often strikes young adults, mainly females
= Untreated, mortality >90%
m Treated with plasmapheresis, mortality <20%
ney of enzyme — ADAMTS 13
(vWE Metalloproteinase)

Accumulation of
high mol wt multimers of WWE
Promote platelet microaggregate
formation throughout the microcirculation
= Treated with plasmapheresis, mortality <20%
= taiopahi es ee
= Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
