treatment so far
Hi, My father was diagnosed with MDS RAEB-2 in Oct 2010 , he has been taking thalidomide 75mg dosage since April 2011. His count improved slightly and stabilized. Hb in the range of 9-10, Platelet 20000-45000 and WBC 2400-3000. However since Dec-2011, his Hb started steady decline and we started with Cresp 200 (Aransep) Inj once fortnightly. This didn’t helped his gradual decline in Hb but helped in raising platelets to remain in 40000-60000. No effect on WBC. on 12/03/2012 his Hb tanked to 7.4 , platelet were 50000. We decided for blood transfusion and on 13/03/2012 he was transfused 2 units of blood. However after 2nd transfusion he started shivering badly and developed fever. e was given paracetamol and antialergic injection. The fever subsided in the morning. The report in the morning after transfusion was 8.8 Hb and 24000 platelets ??. Next day he had blood in his urine. He was then advised SDP (Platelet Transfusion) and was given 1 SDP with the same blood group donor. In the evening he again developed fever. The next day CBC report showed Hb 8.1 Platelet 46000. he is currently been again transfused 1 unit blood. He is still Sometimes having blood in the urine. Doctor has advised revolade 50 mg(promacta) along with thalidomide 100mg. He is still in Hospital. Kindly provide inputs and valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Neel
