What Is Purpura?
6. Causes Of Nonthrombocytopenic Purpura
Diseases that affect the body’s ability to clot blood are one of the main causes of nonthrombocytopenic purpura. It can also be caused by scurvy, which is a vitamin C deficiency that can cause the patient’s cells to fall apart. Some people also have weaker than usual blood vessels.
The condition can also sometimes be caused by an inflammation of the blood vessels. Telangiectasia is another potential cause, which is a condition that causes the connective tissues and skin to be more fragile than usual. Nonthrombocytopenic purpura can also be caused by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which also causes the patient’s connective tissues to be weaker than usual.
