high dosage cyclosporine
Thank you Hopeful. Karin is 43.09kg naked and 48.08kg clothed (we just exchanged texts). Don't know which one they used, but comes to between 12mg and 13mg/kg. Looked up a NY hematologist and he starts (2012) on 10mg/kg along with the horse ATG. We were given Neil Young's original hAtG/CsA clinical trial protocol paper (1995 ? maybe earlier) and if I remember rightly (apart from using hydrocortisone instead of prednisone) that was what was administered. So maybe that WAS excessive. The lowest they had her on was 4mg/kg. Sorry to hear you are still struggling with thrombocytopenia. Perhaps eltrombopag might help once it is approved.
