- Abstract
The article presents a study on the use of the thrombopoietin receptor agonist romiplostim in managing Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). It notes that the findings of the study reveal that romiplostim induction will contribute to a rapid normalization of the platelet count while a relapse will occur if this will be discontinued. This drug is also used to diagnose a non-Hodgkin lymphoma through a tissue sample biopsy.
