Adult Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (Synonyms: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura; Chronic ITP; ITP) Adult chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (chronic ITP) is an autoimmune disorder in which patients produce antiplatelet autoantibodies and specialized white blood cells that destroy their blood platelets and, in some cases, damage their megakaryocytes (the cells that produce platelets in the bone marrow), causing a decrease in platelet production. This results in a low blood platelet count (thrombocytopenia) that may produce bruising or excessive bleeding. The present information has been prepared to help adult patients better understand this condition. However, for specific questions about chronic ITP and recommendations concerning treatment, patients should contact their physicians.
