Endothelial Activation and Immune Thrombocytopenia: An Engagement Waiting for Consolidation
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) appears to be a heterogeneous disease. In some patients, autoimmunity may be associated with an inflammatory process, and in other patients, low platelets may interfere with other aspects of the coagulation system. Either may predispose to thrombosis or bleeding. Furthe...

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) appears to be a heterogeneous disease. In some patients, autoimmunity may be associated with an inflammatory process, and in other patients, low platelets may interfere with other aspects of the coagulation system.
