ATG/Cyclosporine Recovery
Hello,
My wife recieved her horse ATG during the Thanskgiving break 2011. Her counts were dropped way down after the ATG (PLT 2, WBC 0.3, NEUT 0.1). It's been a month now and we start see the NEUT count slowly moving up. It's been 0.1 for 3 weeks (CBC taken 3 times a week) and then went to 0.2 to 0.4 to 0.7. Her PLT count ticked up to 3 but not moving from there. She's receiving PLT transfusion every other day and red blood almost every 10 days.
Can someone tell me if the NEUT count is an indication that things are slowly recovering? Why isn't her PLT count not moving?
How often do you receive transfusions? Doctors say we need transfusion every other day, but we would like to cut down if possible.
Thank you!
