Dear Karen,
A MDS-fellow colleage, who had her BMT two years ago, gave me similar information about her post transplant ferritin level.
Although she only had had a few tx around her BMT her ferritin was like (even) 8000 (yes !) a couple of months ago. Obviously her docotors could not really explain it, but told her that this high count may occur after a transplant probably for some liver GHvD issues....Anyway - for her blood counts are perfectly in order after the BMT, she now decreases the ironoverload by phlebotomy.
Question:
You had an MUD? Can you explain the further circumstances ? In Germany they normally only give MUDs to Babies, because one would not be sufficient....?
Thanx and all the best, Bergit
