Can primary thrombocytopenic purpura be cured?

summary

Thrombocytopenic purpura is also called primary, or immune thrombocytopenic purpura. The cause of the disease is not particularly clear now. Professors and experts are still studying it. It is generally because of viral upper respiratory tract infection. It is generally believed that thrombocytopenia is related to the immune response to primary infection. The main feature is that peripheral platelets are significantly reduced, so that the bleeding can not be stopped smoothly, and frequent bleeding can occur. Corticosteroids or immunosuppressants are commonly used for treatment. Here's how to treat this disease

Can primary thrombocytopenic purpura be cured?

1. The main drug for this disease is hormone, which is a commonly used drug for thrombocytopenic purpura, usually adrenocortical hormone. The advantage of hormone is that it can reduce vascular permeability and bleeding tendency. It is generally advocated that patients with severe illness two weeks before the onset of the disease should be given a large amount of hormone, of course, under the guidance of local doctors.

2. If it is acute bleeding, such as trauma, should be given a large amount of vitamin C and vitamin P in time to help stop bleeding. If it is local bleeding, pressing should be used to stop bleeding. This kind of situation, generally does not need special treatment, just pay attention to the amount of bleeding. In case of emergency massive bleeding or internal bleeding, fresh blood or platelets can be considered.

3. Usually, acute thrombocytopenic purpura is relatively easy to treat and has a good prognosis. If it is chronic patients, according to the length of the disease, the general prognosis is good. Only patients with severe condition will cause intracranial hemorrhage, and the prognosis is not optimistic. For patients with thrombocytopenic purpura, cold and other infections are absolutely taboo.

matters needing attention

If there are patients who are not suitable for the use of hormones or who are resistant to hormones, immunosuppressants can be considered. Immunosuppressants are not as effective as hormones, but they also avoid the side effects of hormones.
