ICD-10 code D69. 3 for Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism .
There are two forms of ITP:Acute thrombocytopenic purpura. This usually affects young children, ages 2 to 6 years old. ... Chronic thrombocytopenic purpura. The onset of the disorder can happen at any age, and the symptoms can last a minimum of 6 months, several years, or a lifetime.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. The bleeding results from unusually low levels of platelets — the cells that help blood clot.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a condition of low platelets, can occur from primary causes, often referred to as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, or secondary to an underlying disease, such as an autoimmune disorder or an infection.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of blood cells called platelets, a situation referred to as thrombocytopenia.

Both immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are disorders that affect platelets. They may exhibit similar symptoms, however there are differences in the causes, complications, and treatments of the disorders.
ITP stands for Immune Thrombocytopenia, also known as Immune or Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. ITP is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by a low amount of platelets in the blood. Platelets are needed for clotting of the blood.
One of the most common symptoms of ITP is a skin condition called petechiae. These are small red bumps on your skin caused by bleeding from underneath. Petechiae can look like a red rash at first, but the bumps are slightly raised, scattered, and the size of pinpoints. They can also have a purplish tinge.
Diagnostic Procedures for ITP Includes a special blood test called an "anti-platelet antibody test." Careful review of medications. Bone marrow aspiration: This test examines the platelet production and can rule out any abnormal cells the marrow may be producing that could lower platelet counts.
One of the most common causes of low platelets is a condition called immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). You may hear it called by its old name, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Why remove the spleen? In people with ITP the immune system treats platelets as foreign and destroys them. The spleen is responsible for removing these damaged platelets and therefore removal of the spleen can help to keep more platelets circulating in the body.
ITP does not turn into a more serious blood disorder, like leukemia or aplastic anemia. It is usually not a sign that their child will later develop other autoimmune conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or “lupus”).
For most people with ITP, the condition isn't serious or life-threatening. For example, acute ITP in children often resolves within 6 months or less without treatment. Chronic ITP, though, can last for many years. Still, people can live for many decades with the disease, even those with severe cases.
Does it get worse over time? No, unlike autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis it is not a progressive disease, but the risk of bleeding is present from the day the disease develops. ITP can go into temporary or permanent remission.
How is it diagnosed?Complete blood count (CBC): This test measures your platelet count and the number of other blood cells in your blood.Blood smear: For this test, some of your blood is put on a slide. ... Bone marrow tests: These tests check whether your bone marrow is healthy.
