ABSTRACT

When platelets are destroyed by cellular and antibody-mediated processes, this is known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), which is an autoimmune disorder. Multiple research studies have documented the potential therapeutic applications of various Indonesian plants for ITP. These plants include Tribulus terrestris, Tinospora cordifolia, Lycenium barbarum, Oryza sativa, Carica papaya, and Psidium guajava. It has been demonstrated that these plants elevate platelet counts and reduce oxidative stress in ITP patients. This article attempts to provide a synopsis of several Indonesian plants that have been utilized in vivo and in vitro to treat ITP.

Keywords: Idiophathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Tribulus terrestris, Tinospora cordifolia, Lycenium barbarum, Oryza sativa, Carica papaya, Psidium guajava.
