Cyclosporine and Kidney Function

Hi Rentzi,

My father was diagnosed with SVAA at the end of November 2014, since he had H-ATG and Cyclosporine. In Mid December he was admitted back into the hospital and has been in ever since with Sepsis and pneumonia. At one point his kidney function was up to 2.72 and we discontinued Cyclosporine until his levels were back down to a more normal level of 1.5. (That took about a week) Now he is back on Cyclosporine, however it's a lower dose of 150 for now.

As far as the platelets, I can't answer that - My father's platelets and HGB has been lower than they were previously . He went from needing transfusions once a week and platelets 3x week to now every day or every other day. I am not sure if that's from the h-atg or not. Since his diagnosis in nov 2014 we haven't seen any improvement in any counts yet at all.
