Signs & Symptoms OF Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)
Let’s talk about the signs and symptoms of chronic ITP.
What are the common signs and symptoms of ITP?
A sign is something others (ex: your care team) can observe or measure, but symptoms are the feelings and concerns that you experience.
With ITP, your platelet count is usually less than 100,000 per microliter. The lower your platelet count, the greater the risk of ITP symptoms.
Bruising
You’ll notice your skin start to bruise very easily, even spontaneously, from damaged blood vessels under the skin.
