      2. increased destruction
        Immune thrombocytpenic purpura
        igG antibodies made by the spleen, attacking platelets at 1b and 11b receptors, causing the destruction of them within the spleen
        acute ITP
        children 2-9 years
        less than 6 months
        resolves after 6 months by itself
        follows a viral infection
        severe cases
        splenectomy
        chronic ITP
        adults;females 20-40 years
        6 months or longer
        secondary causes
        SLE
        HIV
        diagnosed by exclusion
        number of platelets increased by corticosteroids
        thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
        PENTAD
        fever
        thrombocytopenia
        Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
        renal failure
        neuro deficits
        deficiency of enzyme that breaks down vWF
        Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy
        Consumptive coagulopathy
        systemic activation of clotting factor and platelets
        microthrombi formation
        increased bleeding tendency
        MEDICAL EMERGENCY
        Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
        igG binds to platelet factor 4, leading to platelet activation, platelet aggregation and thrombosis formation
  2. function
