Immune Thrombocytopenia in Adult Celiac Disease

Clinical Significance of Positive Platelet Immunofluorescence Assay in Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia: a Cross Sectional Study

Background: Immune thrombocytopenia is a hematologic disorder characterized by low platelet count and variable bleeding manifestations due to immune-mediated platelet destruction and/or suppression of platelet production. This study was performed to evaluate characteristics and clinical presentations of adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia and to explore the clinical value of platelet an...

Sunitinib Induced Immune Thrombocytopenia

Sunitinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor which prevents tumor growth and metastatic progression. It was approved for treatment of advanced renal cell cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor and advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It has several adverse reactions on multi organ systems including hematologic system. Although the neutropenia and thrombocytopenia commonly happens as Gra...

Adult Celiac Disease - An Update

Celiac disease is a highly prevalent disorder of the intestine but vast majority of the patients remain undiagnosed. Both genetics and environmental factors play into account. Patients develop permanent intolerance to gluten leading to inflammation of the intestinal villi and ultimately villous atrophy. As a result, patients need to be on gluten free diet to lead a normal life. Patients could b...
