ITP, or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, is an autoimmune disorder that causes excessive bleeding and bruising due to a low platelet count. Some synonyms for ITP include immune thrombocytopenic purpura, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, and primary immune thrombocytopenia. Other terms that may be used to describe ITP include thrombocytopenic purpura, ITP syndrome, and idiopathic immune-mediated thrombocytopenia. While these terms all refer to ITP, they may be used in slightly different contexts depending on the medical professional or patient using them. It is important for individuals with ITP to be familiar with these terms and communicate effectively with their healthcare team to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
