So my mom is now refractory to the transfusions....so they are starting her on crossmatched or HLA platelet transfusions. All her blood work is normal except for those pesky platelets. Her platelets were at 12 and then she got 2 units which brought her up to 21 but then they gave her 5 units which brought her down to 15...not good. She has been on cyclosporine for just about 2 weeks and now they are starting her on promacta. Anyone had any success with this? I'm feeling very hopeful. She still looks and feels great and has had no spontaneous bleeding or complications. Any info is so appreciated! Thanks.
