I think the Soliris should help all three blood types. However, the RBCs are the most likely to benefit from the Soliris. That's because they have thin skins and are large, thus they are the main target for the PNH complement in the first place. So if that's knocked out by the Soliris, then it stands to reason that the RBCs will be the first to recover. Not a very technical explanation, but that's my understanding.
Since I also have MDS, my blood cells have not all bounced back. However, with straight PNH, Soliris should lead you down the pathway to happiness and good health.
