Answer:

Increased thrombopoetin levels

Explanation:

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an immune disorder that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks platelets following a viral infection.

Due to this, the patient will be easily bruised and bleed since the platelets are unusually low.

Thrombopoetin is the growth factor for platelets. It stimulates the production of platelets.

Therefore, increased levels of Thrombopoetin is unexpected for patients with ITP.
