| Abstrakt: | The leading cause of isolated thrombocytopenia in asymptomatic individuals is immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). It is an autoimmune disease characterized by decreased platelet counts caused by the immune system's destruction of platelets. Sometimes, autoimmune thyroid diseases and ITP can coexist, which could cause an aggravated immune system response. When thyroid autoimmune diseases are present, treating ITP may become challenging. Treatment of the underlying thyroid disease in such individuals results in a significant improvement in platelet count, along with remission of the disease. It enhances the response to traditional ITP therapy. In this case report, we present a case of a 40-year-old female who was treated for ITP along with hypothyroidism, resulting in a considerable improvement in platelet count and a remission of the condition.
