Avatrombopag for the salvage treatment of platelet transfusion refractoriness [PDF]
Background: Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a life-threatening and intractable condition in hematological patients. Thrombopoietin receptor agonists such as avatrombopag promote platelet production and modulate immune intolerance.

Evaluation and management of platelet transfusion refractoriness. [PDF]
Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR), in which platelet counts do not increase after transfusion, occurs in many patients receiving platelet transfusions. PTR is a clinical condition that can harm patients. The causes of PTR can be divided into two types: immune and non-immune. Most cases of PTR are non-immune. Among immune causes, the most common

Related donor platelet transfusion improves platelet transfusion refractoriness in hematological patients [PDF]
ObjectiveTransfusion of HLA-matched platelets can reduce the effect of alloimmune responses on platelet transfusion efficacy; however, finding HLA-matched platelets in the population is nearly impossible. Almost all HLA-matched platelets from related are
