ITP (Immune thrombocytopenic purpura) is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the platelets leading to the low platelet levels. ITP may occur in the absence of a predisposing cause (primary ITP) or due to a growing list of associated conditions (secondary ITP), and must be differentiated from other causes of thrombocytopenia.
