Spleen removal

[Espomom]

My daughter 28 was terrified to have her spleen removed and went through hell in for 1 yr. blood work was checked every week, besides the prednisone in basic treatment 4 rounds of rituximab was given(by the way if 1 round doesn't work don't let them prescribe more) platlet count only when up when given NPlate . she maintained a super healthy diet. Nothing made the platelets go up. Finally she got her spleen removed. platelets are steady@ 350,000. Fall out from all treatment numb right arm, foot neuropathy. Regrets not getting her spleen removed after 3 months of standard treatment. Good luck to you and be careful with your medication they come with side effects.

Does your daughter know the ITP is spleen related

If it is liver related it would be worthless
