Best Homeopathic Remedies for ITP – Thrombocytopenia Treatment
What is Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura?
It is a difficult task to identify ITP. Purple-colored spots and patches will occur on your skin, organs and membranes as well. We can also include the lining of the mouth. We can also either call them blood spots or hemorrhages. It will occur when the small blood vessels under your skin will leak. ITP is an auto-immune disorder that encompasses platelets and it leads to increased bleeding and bruising on the body. We can also call it Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura because it is another or full term of ITP.
As a doctor, we are aware of the fact that platelets are blood components which you can find along with red and white blood cells. The bone marrow produces these cells. Platelets are helpful in the clotting of the blood. The normal range of platelets in a healthy human being is from 150000 to 450000 per cubic millimeter.
A person who is suffering from ITP has platelet count as low as 20,000 or less than that. This disorder is more common in children than in adults. Women also develop ITP more likely. Thrombocyte is an alternative name of platelets and thrombus is also called a clot.

2: Chronic ITP: If it remains present for 6 months or longer, it is called chronic ITP. Chronic ITP is more common in adults. It can cause after a viral infection by using different drugs and during pregnancy. It can also occur because of the auto-immune response of the body.
