Hyperlipidemia in immune thrombocytopenia: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune hemorrhagic disease characterized by low platelet count and bleeding manifestations. However, some patients also suffered from atherosclerosis or even infarction. Apart from activated platelets, lipid metabolism takes a large part in the formation of atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. The lipid metabolic state in ITP patients is still unknown.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 302 hospitalized ITP patients in our cohort, comparing their blood lipids, bleeding symptoms, metabolic diseases and treatment responses.

Results

We found a high proportion of ITP patients suffered from hyperlipidemia, and other metabolic diseases including cardiovascular or cerebral atherosclerosis or infarction, hypertension, and
