What Is Purpura?
5. Nonthrombocytopenic Purpura?
There are two main types of purpura, one of which is nonthrombocytopenic purpura. This means that the patient has normal levels of platelets in their blood. This means that a lack of platelets in the blood will not be the cause of the symptoms, so it must be caused by something else instead.
There are two types of nonthrombocytopenic purpura. One of these is secondary or symptomatic, which is often caused by exposure to chemicals, drugs, or certain diseases. There is also primary or idiopathic nonthrombocytopenic purpura, which means that doctors are unable to identify the cause of the condition.
