This was after my transfusion on Saturday. It seems like the ATG has done nothing, and it seems like my HGB is dropping faster than ever.
My tacrolimus trough level is 3.5. Does anyone know what it should be?

Hi Deb,
Everyone's case is different so there no "rules" I guess. I had my (h)ATG almost 10 months ago and HG, Platelets, RBC, and WBC all stayed at pre ATG levels or dropped for a month following hospitalization. I was transfusion dependent for 1-2 months and all CBC levels came to pre ATG levels and stayed there till last month. I'm seeing a slow increase in almost all values in spite of being off tacrolimus for 2 months because of side effects. Hang in there and don't even think of a second ATG for 9 months or so if you can avoid it. It's a strange illness that we have.
