Abstract
A recent publication by Kwag et al suggests that first line response to intravenous immunoglobulins in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) may predict long term response to splenectomy. Predominant platelet sequestration using platelet kinetic studies may similarly predict ITP patients who respond rest to splenectomy. A study comparing response to intravenous immunoglobulins and platelet kinetic studies prior to splenectomy for ITP might identify to identify the optimal means of predicting response to splenectomy.
期刊介绍：
''Acta Haematologica'' is a well-established and internationally recognized clinically-oriented journal featuring balanced, wide-ranging coverage of current hematology research. A wealth of information on such problems as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, hereditary disorders, blood coagulation, growth factors, hematopoiesis and differentiation is contained in first-rate basic and clinical papers some of which are accompanied by editorial comments by eminent experts. These are supplemented by short state-of-the-art communications, reviews and correspondence as well as occasional special issues devoted to ‘hot topics’ in hematology. These will keep the practicing hematologist well informed of the new developments in the field.
