Clinical efficacy of recombinant human thrombopoietin combined with glucocorticoids in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia.

OBJECTIVE
Herein, we aimed to determine the clinical efficacy of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) combined with glucocorticoids for treating immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).


METHODS
Clinical data of 87 patients with ITP admitted to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment employed: 42 patients in the control group (CG) were prescribed glucocorticoids, and 45 patients in the study group (SG) received rhTPO combined with glucocorticoids.


RESULTS
The total effective treatment rate in the SG (95.56%) was higher than that in the CG (76.19%) (P < 0.05). The SG achieved a platelet (PLT) count > 50 × 109/L faster and required fewer PLT transfusions than the CG (P < 0.05). At 1, 7, and 14 days after treatment, the PLT count increased in both groups and was higher in the SG than in the CG (P < 0.05). After treatment, CD3+, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+ T cells increased, whereas CD8 + decreased in both groups, with the SG exhibiting a superior improvement to the CG (P < 0.05). Considering prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and fibrinogen, differences between the two groups were not statistically significant, both before and after treatment (P > 0.05).


CONCLUSION
rhTPO combined with glucocorticoids for treating ITP can effectively enhance the therapeutic effect, regulate the T lymphocyte subpopulation, rapidly increase the PLT level, and induce no significant effect on the coagulation function of patients, with good safety and high clinical promotion value.
