Additional treatment options

Monoclonal antibody therapy

Rituximab or similar agents targeting B-cells may be employed for autoimmune cytopenias refractory to conventional therapy.

medication

Nutritional support for cytopenias

Iron, folate, and vitamin B12 supplementation supports red blood cell production when deficiencies are identified through testing.

dietary

Activity modification during cytopenias

Avoid contact sports and high-risk activities when platelet counts are low to prevent bleeding complications.
