ITP is an autoimmune disease,
also called idiopathic
thrombocytopenia, that attacks the
body’s platelets, so you don’t have
enough platelets in your blood. ET is a overproduction of platelets and ITP is the under production of platelets. No known cause as far as I know. But having MDS at the same time probably makes his diagnosis extremely rare. Wondering how he was diagnosed. Was it based on a molecular panel or a BM Aspiration/Biopsy?

It started with a little nose bleed that persisted for a couple weeks. He had some blood work done and that night he was told to go to the E.R. Transported the next day to Rochester and diagnosed within a week. Bone marrow and lots of blood tests. Platelets got as low as 2K
