| pubmed-article:18260355 | pubmed:abstractText | Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease defined by a low platelet count secondary to accelerated platelet destruction by anti-platelet antibodies. The resulting bleeding diathesis can present a therapeutic dilemma. We have treated two cases of ITP in which ureteral stones were successfully extracted by transurethral ureterolithotripsy (TUL) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) after high-dose gamma-globulin therapy. The first case was in a 52-year-old woman and the second case was in a 65-year-old woman. Intravenous pyelography revealed a left ureteral stone in the first case and bilateral ureteral stones in the second case. High-dose gamma-globulin therapy and platelet transfusion elevated their platelet counts to safe levels; TUL and ESWL were then performed successfully with no bleeding complications. This is the first case report of ITP being treated by ESWL after high-dose gamma-globulin therapy. High-dose gamma-globulin therapy effectively provides adequate platelet counts for surgical treatment in patients with ITP. | lld:pubmed |
