Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a bleeding disorder characterized by too few platelets in the blood. People with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, because of their low platelet count, tend to bruise easily and bleed longer when injured. Nosebleeds and bleeding gums also are common. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura , also known as primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura and autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, is defined as isolated thrombocytopenia with normal bone marrow and the absence of other causes of thrombocytopenia. The bleeding is due to a low number of platelets , blood cells that help the blood clot and stop bleeding. Platelets are cells in the blood that help stop bleeding. In idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), the immune system treats a person's own platelets as if they were invaders in the body, attacking and destroying them. Thrombocytopenic means the blood doesn't have enough platelets.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is often divided into two categories: acute and chronic. People with ITP often have purple bruises that appear on the skin. ITP is a decrease in the number of circulating platelets in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with a low platelet count. Idiopathic means the exact cause of the disease is unknown. As most causes appear to be related to antibodies against platelets, it is also known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), also called immune thrombocytopenic purpura, is a bleeding disorder in which your blood has difficulty clotting due to an unusually low number of platelets. The bruises are caused by bleeding has occurred in small blood vessels under the skin. quality of each study was graded by two reviewers using formal methodologic rules.

• Passing the blood over a protein A column (Prosorba), which filters antibodies out of the blood stream.
