ITP and Blood Clots07/26/2010 |
can a person with a diagnosis ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura), usually prone to bleeding disorder, still get blood clots?
Yes, they can. Actually, patients with ITP are at a somewhat increased risk compared to non-ITP patients for the development of blood clots.
