Hi and welcome to HCM Thanks for the query.
Itp usually can be controled for many years and high liver enzymes can be seen occasionaly if there is significant hemolysis. if there is no critical fall in hemoglobin then no treatment is necessary. if there will be need,then splenectomy can be done and it will be final cure for itp.
Wish you good health. Regards
