Signs & Symptoms OF Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)
It’s important to understand the signs and symptoms of ITP. Knowing what to look for, and tracking any changes, can help you make informed treatment decisions with your doctor.
What are the common signs and symptoms of ITP?
ITP is known as a heterogeneous disease, which means you may experience different signs and symptoms than someone else with ITP.
A sign is something that your healthcare team can observe or measure, such as your platelet counts. Symptoms are the feelings and concerns that you experience, such as fatigue. Most people with ITP have platelet counts under 100,000 per microliter, but those counts vary from person to person, and you may find your platelet counts are unpredictable at times. The lower your platelet count, the greater the risk of ITP symptoms.
Here are some common signs and symptoms of ITP:
Fatigue
You may feel exhausted and unable to keep up with everyday activities to the point where you may feel tired even after getting a full night’s sleep.
Bruising
You may notice your skin start to bruise very easily, even spontaneously, from damaged blood vessels under the skin. Bruising may happen even if you don’t remember injuring yourself.
Petechiae/Purpura
You may see small red or purple spots start to appear from broken blood vessels on areas like your upper arms or lower legs.
ITP Bleeding
You may experience bleeding from your gums and nose, have an unusually heavy menstrual flow, or notice cuts bleeding for longer periods of time. You may also see blood in your urine, vomit, or stool. When platelets are low, your doctor may tell you to limit physical activity.
Living with ITP can be unpredictable
You may feel stress and worry related to your signs and symptoms of ITP. Check out these resources that may help you navigate and manage your uncertainties.

One of the most important steps to getting the care you deserve is finding the right hematologist in your area.
