The Serum Lipid Profiles in Immune Thrombocytopenia: a Retrospective Study

The project was retrospectively undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in China. In order to investigate the correlations between platelet indices, serum lipids and bleeding symptoms in ITP.

Conditions

Immune Thrombocytopenia

Intervention / Treatment

Other: ITP patients

Detailed Description

Background: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune hemorrhagic disease characterized by increased platelet destruction and impaired thrombopoiesis. Platelet indices changes depending on the morphology and volume of platelets. Serum lipids have been found to affect platelet formation and activity in certain diseases, thus induce the corresponding variation of platelet indices.

Objectives: To investigate the correlations between platelet indices, serum lipids and bleeding symptoms in ITP.

Methods: The clinical data from 457 ITP patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed, including platelet indices, serum lipids, hemorrhage and therapeutic regimen.
