Platelets and blood transfusions need every 10 days. CBC at day 7, platelets count is around 5. Haemoglobin around 6. RBC 1.5. Then petechiae on hands and legs. Dark or black tarry stools.
Let me know If you ever heard anyone with similar to this situation.

You are a friend or relative of an ITPer?

My aunt.
They did endoscopy test for gastritis. Said nothing much to worry and advised her to stay away from some foods and drinks.
I didn't get proper answer. That's why I'm here.

ITP isn't usually treated with platelet transfusions. Something isn't making sense.

Where is your aunt being treated and by whom? It does sound strange, as Sandi pointed out...
