Hi Vikas,
She gets 2 units when her Hb falls below 7, it normally lasts 3-4 weeks and she is back to around 7 in this time. In the initial days, when we were all in denial that she could have MDS, we waited too long for transfusion and the Hb went down to 6.4.
Still I am not sure that 6.4 is the base Hb, it could be lower.
