What Treatments Have You Tried For ITP? Which Worked Best? Share Your Experiences Below.
Splenenectomy then Nplate
Irradiation of the spleen, combined with huge dosage of Amicar -problem mostly solved.
I almost died in 2006 due to ITP. After almost three months of different treatments/medications my spleen was removed and slowly my platelet count went up. Haven’t had an issue since thank God.

Everything
What has worked short term- total knee replacement surgery! It took months to get my count up high enough for the surgery; but after the surgery, my platelets had a party. They went up into the 300s and stayed there a few weeks. Now they are slowly headed back down despite being on 75 mg of eltrombopag. But it was a weird result from surgery that no one can explain.
