Abstract

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a common hematological disease. It bleeds with peripheral blood platelet reduction as the main clinical manifestation, and manifests a chronic history in adult people. 11% - 35% ITP patients develop into a refractory course, which may be related with gene polymorphisms. There is currently no consensus on how best to manage refractory/relapsed ITP. In part, this reflects the need for individualized treatment due to the patients' requirements and their responsiveness to therapies. The objective of this review is to provide a clinically useful guide to current management strategies. This article summarizes all the treatment for refractory ITP, and highlights new therapies, including the anti-CD20 antibody, thrombopoietic agents, TPO receptor agonist and HSCT. The pancytoprotector shows good effect in the treatment of refractory and relapsed ITP in China. In a word, to give different treatments individually is most important.
