ITP - Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura? - idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura more condition_symptoms
My son was with this disease has been diagnosed with this disease was and I can say about him diagnosed. The symptoms, so I know it has with the platelets are low, and when they leave, bruises, etc. Are there other treatments that are more infusions at low, may be, is there anything you can do in order to avoid that low, such as diet or drugs? Currently not able to stabilize their platelets. When he was discharged from the hospital levels were 103, a few days later, only 203 are its values now at 150, with the steps next week to check again.

They are not quite sure what triggers ITP, but I think it is a kind of autoimmune disease, which attacks the platelets from the body. Also connected to the recent viral infection, at least with children. The immune system is alerted to the infection, and for some reason then not to resign. "Idiopathic" means that there is something that you have purchased, rather than innate themselves with what is born. Platelets are the parts of blood clotting, which helps, and if the ITP is not enough of them. Purpura is a medical term that the incidence of bruising, purple applies under the skin. Violet is to sear the Latin word for leaf. In children, who often disappear within a year, 80 percent of the time or more. It is usually not fatal, but the nosebleeds and bruising can be quite frightening. Since this is a problem with the immune system really is not treatable with diet. Corticosteroids such as prednisone, are commonly used to treat ITP. They are safe to drink, evenIf you already have for years taken on the road. You are not the same as those of sports steroids and bodybuilding. You can also use injections of Rh immune globulin globulin. I remember a couple of newly developed drugs to be used when glubulin the immune system does not work, but I regret to say that he can not remember what they were called. However, the doctors will know that I'm sure. If all else fails, the other is what I do, the spleen removed. This organ is in particular the size of a golf ball on children, and slightly higher than the left flat on the page. It makes antibodies to fight infections, and sometimes go too far and attack platelets. In this case, the removal of the spleen, often leads the mind back to a normal level. This particular operation is not performed, if all else fails and they have virtually eliminated other things. I've never seen a child, only for adults. The first choice of treatment is to a child who constantly watch the monitor, too. NOption is able to try drugs and injections of immunoglobulin. Platelet transfusions performed if the bleeding is serious, or too low. In most cases, pass on to stabilize children and to gradually improve in the coming months. There will be limitations on activities that frustrating for him to do by age and what you like. Contact sports out of the question, of course. As things are riding, in which you fall. The biggest concern would be if a head injury, where bleeding is difficult to recognize at an early stage and may be uncomfortable. I imagine it would make of him, a bike ride and skate, but there were certainly have to wear a helmet and pads. You should ask your doctor for advice on this point. Keep small bags of frozen peas on one side, so that the strokes and how they can be quickly cooled to avoid pressure sores worse. They correspond to the parts of the body much more easily than the old ice bag. Niblet frozen corn works well too hastily. I wish him luck and hope that their levels stabilize shortly.
