Hi all,

Thanks to all here who shared their knowledge and experience to support each other facing this dreadful disease. my dad is 72 years old last month diagnose with SAA.his CBC report (pre ATG) is HB-6.5 WBC-1500 Plt-15K.doctor started ATG on 16 may 2013..innitially we were worried about ATG at this Age, we consult almost 1/2 dozen heamato.but all suggested go for supportive treatment bcoz dad creatine level on border line 1.5,ATG at this age kind of risk..but we cant wait to see dad in worse condition.With god grace one of doctor suggested us lets we go for moderate ATG treatment..bfore ATG he started nuroday tab 1500mg,danozol 100mg, cyclosporine 100mg...but after 1st dose of cyclosporine litle blood found in urine so doc stop cyclo..on 16 may 2013 ATG started 10mg/kg/day...but god grace dad tolerate all ATG doses..we have not notice any side effect..like nausia,rashesh on skin or any other..my questiont is to senior is it good sign or bad..doctor said now wait till 3 month to get result..modrate ATG will work at this Age..thanks lot..
