Hi, I have low platelets. Chronic primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Platelets count is approximately 75,000 for last 12 years with no clinical bleeding and no medications. Please suggest improving platelets count.

You have low platelet and it needs no treatment. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) may occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks platelets. In children, it may follow a viral infection. In adults, it may be chronic. Symptoms may include easy bruising, bleeding and pinpoint-sized reddish-purple spots on the lower legs. In children, itp usually resolves without any treatment. Adults commonly need treatment with medication for bleeding. Rarely the spleen may need to be removed.
