Abstract
La trombocitopenia inmune primaria (TIP) es una enfermedad hematológica autoinmune que se distingue por tener plaquetas en un número inferior a 100.000, la cual provoca en los pacientes manifestaciones clínicas como la presencia de equimosis, petequias hasta hemorragias masivas que pueden comprometer la vida del paciente. Para su diagnóstico se realizan exámenes complementarios, ya que es una patología en la que no existe una prueba estándar o específica para diagnosticarla, y su tratamiento sea de primera, segunda o línea va a depender del número de plaquetas y de la fase de la enfermedad, sobresaliendo los agonistas de la trombopoyetina. Objetivo. Describir el manejo farmacológico de la Trombocitopenia Inmune Primaria (TIP) mediante la administración de los agonistas de la trombopoyetina. Metodología. Se realizó una revisión sistemática utilizando la metodología PRISMA, la información recopilada se hizo en bases de datos científicas como Pubmed, Science Direct, incluyendo artículos publicados dentro de los últimos 5 años, en inglés y español, relacionada al uso de los agonistas de la trombopoyetina y de la trombocitopenia inmune primaria. Resultados. Fueron seleccionados inicialmente 102 en PubMed y ScienceDirect, después de los procesos de verificación quedaron 18 artículos para la extracción y análisis de datos. Conclusión. Los agonistas de la trombopoyetina son fármacos seguros, pero siempre se debe valorar el riesgo-beneficio antes de usarlos en pacientes con TIP, porque cada paciente es único y su respuesta al tratamiento puede variar. Sin embargo, deben ser usados con precaución en pacientes con antecedentes de enfermedad tromboembólica o que presenten un riesgo elevado de desarrollarla.
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (PIT) is an autoimmune hematological disease that is distinguished by having platelets in a number lower than 100,000, which causes in patients clinical manifestations such as the presence of ecchymosis, petechiae to massive hemorrhages that can compromise the patient's life. For its diagnosis, complementary tests are performed, since it is a pathology in which there is no standard or specific test to diagnose it, and its treatment, whether first, second or third line, will depend on the number of platelets and the stage of the disease, with thrombopoietin agonists standing out. Objective. To describe the pharmacological management of Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (PIT) through the administration of thrombopoietin agonists. Methodology. A systematic review was performed using PRISMA methodology, the information collected was done in scientific databases such as Pubmed, Science Direct, including articles published within the last 5 years, in English and Spanish, related to the use of thrombopoietin agonists and primary immune thrombocytopenia. Results. Initially 102 were selected in PubMed and ScienceDirect, after the verification processes, 18 articles remained for data extraction and analysis. Conclusion. Thrombopoietin agonists are safe drugs, but the risk-benefit should always be assessed before using them in patients with PIT, because each patient is unique and their response to treatment may vary. However, they should be used with caution in patients with a history of thromboembolic disease or who are at high risk of developing it.
