Figure 3: This cartoon highlights the strategies used in Management of Adult Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Figure 4: This cartoon highlights the strategies used in Management of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura with Pregnancy
Figure 5: This cartoon highlights the various clinical course in patients with Adult Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Figure 6: This cartoon highlights the role of Thrombopoietin & its production in fixed amount by the liver. TPO production is relatively diminished in patients of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura forming the basis of use of TPO mimetic Drugs
Figure 7: This cartoon highlights that overzealous Platelet Tx in patients of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura will paradoxically delay recovery of Endogenous platelets.
Figure 8: This cartoon highlights role of H. Pylori Antibodies formation in Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Figure 9: This cartoon highlights the strategies used in deciding about Platelet Transfusion in Management of Thrombocytopenia. In Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura it is INAPPROPRIATE to use PLATELETS Transfusion UNLESS there is an emergency with LIFE THREATENING BLEED.
Figyre 10: This cartoon highlights the strategies used in the management of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura. Newer exciting Options are TPO mimetic Drugs like Eltrambopag & Romiplostim.
