Daclizumab
Hi Triumphe64,
Thanks for the info. As you mentioned your Hg is on the lowest part of the normal range, why not get a BT as this will improve your Hg plus other counts i guess. is it because of the drugs you are taking now ? Just curious.
So far i have found all these possible treatments available for PRCA from the forum. They might be more. I noticed that most of the people dont recommend PREDNISONE.
1) zenapax/Daclizumab
2) EPO (Epogen, Procrit) and Darbeprotein (Aranesp)
3) prednisone and cytoxan (cyclophosphamide)
4) Antithymocyte globulin ( ATG)
5) IVIG, cyclosporine and prednisone, cyclosporine, Danazol, and prednisone
6) Spleen removal --- I dont know whether this is good to do or not.
7) Rituxan (Rituximab)
I will get opinions from the hema about all the possible treatments above. If you have any comments or thoughts about this, please do share with me. Thanks.
