Today we discussed a case of a patient who has presumed immune mediated thrombocytopenia.
We discussed the approach to thrombocytopenia and then the management of ITP.
I have previously blogged about this here (including references and discussion of management).
Note that today's patient, by virtue of his cirrhosis is at a very high risk of peri-operative death from splenectomy -- he may be a candidate for rituximab if steroids fail.
