Description

Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia (AITP) is a disorder of low blood platelet counts in which platelet destruction is caused by antiplatelet autoantibodies. A large proportion of patients with chronic AITP are refractory to standard therapies including corticosteroids, immune globulin and splenectomy. Cyclophosphamide is a cytotoxic immunosuppressive agent which may induce durable remissions of refractory autoimmune diseases. High-dose cyclophosphamide with peripheral blood stem cell (PBPC) rescue has been proposed as a potential definitive therapy for AITP; however, the infusion of autoreactive l...

  • Significant hepatic dysfunction, bilirubin greater than 2 mg/dL or transaminases greater than 2 times UNL.
  • Uncorrected coagulopathy.
  • Bone marrow aplasia (cellularity less than 10 percent), single or multilineage hematopoietic failure, myelodysplastic syndrome, or extensive marrow fibrosis.
