Highlights of the revised guidelines

The 2013 guidelines (for treatment of adults with ITP) have recently been revised. The new guidelines, issued in 2020, have a sounder basis for determining auto-antibodies against thrombocytes. The order of treatment has also changed compared to 2013; splenectomy is now only recommended if TPO receptor agonists or Rituximab have no effect and no earlier than 12 months after diagnosis.
