It is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology characterized by uncontrolled hyperproduction of autoantibodies against the cell nucleus. Uncontrolled disease activity leads to complications, and complications lead to life threats. Hematologic changes are the most common serious complications of SLE. Thrombocytopenia is detected in 20-25% of SLE patients and is mainly parallel to disease activity. During this disease, thrombocytopenia manifests as primary and secondary. Secondary thrombocytopenia is due to drugs used and intercurrent infection, and primary is due to uncontrolled synthesis of autoantibodies against platelets.
