How is thrombocytopenic purpura treated?

The treatment methods for thrombocytopenic purpura mainly include drug therapy, surgical therapy, and other adjunctive therapies. 1. Drug therapy: Commonly used medications include glucocorticoids (such as prednisone and dexamethasone), which are used to reduce capillary permeability and inhibit the production of platelet antibodies; and gamma globulin, which blocks macrophage receptors and inhibits platelet destruction. 2. Surgical therapy: When drug therapy proves ineffective, laparoscopic splenectomy may be considered to suppress humoral immunity and reduce platelet damage. 3. Other adjunctive therapies: These include plasmapheresis, which replaces platelets that have adsorbed antibodies to reduce progressive platelet destruction; and traditional Chinese medicine treatments, such as acupuncture at the Zusanli and Sanyinjiao acupoints, which are used as adjunctive therapies. During treatment, patients should cooperate with their physician's treatment plan and maintain a healthy diet to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.
