Auto-Immune Hepatitis and ITP
My 24 yr old son developed AIH mere weeks after booster shot. He now also has ITP and receiving platelet infusions along with steroids.
They can't do bone marrow biopsy because platelet levels keep dropping/won't stabilize. Is there medication to increase platelets?

Hi @leilab1, you may find some helpful ways to increase platelet counts in these 2 discussion related to thrombocytopeniap purpura (ITP)

You're right to be informed about medications that may cause damage or undue stress on the liver. You don't want to help one issue and worsen the other. Are the infusions and steroids helping?
