Diseases and Conditions

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Complications

A rare complication of immune thrombocytopenia is bleeding into the brain, which can be fatal.

If you're pregnant and your platelet count is very low or you have bleeding, you have a greater risk of heavy bleeding during delivery. Your doctor may suggest treatment to maintain a stable platelet count, taking into account the effects on your baby.
