AA Relapse?
Hello,
I really need your input about what is going on.
My husband diagnosed AA in June 2008, ATG treatment, stoped cyclosporine last January.
On March 12th his CBC was:
RBC - 4.06
Hb - 13.9
WBC - 3.8
Platelets - 151
Today CBC:
Hb - 13.8
WBC - 4.5
Platelets - 97
His doctor recommened he will be tested in 5 weeks and then, he may be on cyclosporine again.
Doctor mentioned that "some patients become cyclosporine dependent"
Is it true?
His Cycloporine started with 300 mg/day for 6 weeks and then 1 year tapping. I think he should be on cyclosporine more time.
Now I'm afraid. I'm really afraid.
Can this be a relapse?
If so, to be on cyclosporine again is enough or he'll be again in hospital and have ATG?
Please help me so I can help him.
Thank you
Paula
