Diagnostik und Therapie der Immunthrombozytopenie

Abstract: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a heterogeneous disease. Diagnosis of primary ITP continues to be based on the exclusion of all known causes for secondary ITP. The new ITP classification distinguishes three categories. First line treatment consists of either dexamethasone or prednisone. The most effective options in second line treatment are splenectomy or thrombopoietin receptor agonists. The medical societies for hematology and oncology of the German-speaking countries have recently updated their guidelines… Show more

“…Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired organ-specific autoimmune disorder 1, characterized by transient or persistent decrease of the peripheral blood (PB) platelet count to less than 100 × 10 9 /L in the absence of conditions known to cause thrombocytopenia. The overall incidence of ITP ranges from 2.0 to 5.3 per 10 5 adults each year 2-4.…”

“…No minor or major bleeding was detected. Meanwhile, by requested hematology consultation and through examination of peripheral blood smear, exclusion of alternative disorders and bone marrow findings, the diagnosis of ITP was made (Table 1) [5][6][7]. Recommended ITP treatment included the intravenous infusion of γ-globulin (IG) for three days and the administration of steroids (methylprednisolone, initially 60 mg/day and subsequently 40 mg/day) as well as romiplostim (500 mcg sc weekly), to increase platelet count ( Table 2).…”

“…This is a new statement for international consensus guidelines because systematic bone marrow smear was recommended in all patients older than age 60 years in the 2010 version. 3 Indeed, this recommendation is not consensual: although the ASH guidelines are in line with the new international consensus recommendations, the French and German guidelines still recommend systematic bone marrow smear in all patients older than age 60 years with typical ITP to detect associated hematologic disease, 5,6 particularly myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which accounts for 2.3% of incident ITP in adult patients. 7 All of these guidelines are driven by expert consensus only and the usefulness of bone marrow examination in ITP is still being discussed 8 ; data are lacking about the positivity rate of this examination in older patients with typical ITP.…”
