Chronic kidney disease in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is uncommon, and renal transplant in this setting is rare. We discuss the successful renal transplant of a 29-year-old male with chronic ITP. During transplant, he was managed with thrombopoietin receptor agonist eltrombopag, intravenous methylprednisone, and intravenous immunoglobulin to maintain adequate platelet level. He recovered well with no major complications and good graft function and has been stable during the follow-up period. The case report highlights that renal transplantation is a feasible option in patients with ITP, even in the presence of low platelet counts.
