Understanding ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia)

Understanding ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia) from Patient Power® on Vimeo.

In this video, Dr. Terry Gernsheimer, a leading expert in ITP from the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, explains this orphan bleeding condition defined by low platelet counts in the blood which leave patients without the ability to form blood clots. Dr. Gernsheimer helps us understand not only diagnosis and treatment for the condition, but updates us with the latest news from the American Society of Hematology meeting at the close of 2011.
