Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is a disorder of blood characterized by the low number of platelet cells in the blood. It is also known as Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura. Platelets are known for their blood clotting action. Bleeding in the gums, abnormal internal bleeding, and easy bruises can be caused by the low number of platelets or Immune thrombocytopenic purpura. 

Ayurveda classifies, ITP under  “Rakta vyadhi”, which means disorders of the blood. Ashtagahrudaya is having clear reference of “Pittasra” or “Raktapitta” under the volumes of Sutrasthana, Nidanasthana, and Chikitsasthana.  

The weak immune is responsible for this condition and it is classified as an autoimmune disease. The condition in which one’s own immune system acts against the organism is called an Autoimmune condition. In the case of ITP disease, the platelet counts are decreased due to weak immune system action. Ayurveda is the ultimate solution for the management of ITP.

Causes of ITP

The stimulation caused to the immune system to destroy it’s own cells may lead wide range of conditions and one among which is called as ITP. In case of ITP, different reasons have been found out.

  • Medications
  • Infections like HIV, Hepatitis C or Chicken pox may lead to severe damage of immune system and may lead to conditions like ITP
  • Other immune disorders like Lupus or Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Pregnancy
  • Certain conditions like Leukemia may produce antibodies against platelets and
  • Many cases have remained Idiopathic

Symptoms of ITP

In general, the laboratory value of Platelet is 150000 to 450000 cells per one microlitre of blood. When the count is lower than 150000 the risk of bleeding increases. The count near or less than 10000 cells may lead to the establishment of the clear symptom of bleeding.
