Hi! I reopen this thread to get your opinion about early responses to ATG/cyclosporin. My brother finished ATG about 3 weeks ago and is out of hospital today with a light dosage of cyclosporin.
His hemoglobin has been stable since his last transfusion one week and a half ago and has even rised a little. He won't need the next tranfusion.
Platelets are still low. Would you call that a response?
I read several times that early response was an indicator of future relapse. The longer it takes for the counts to rise, the better.
Are there any early responders on the forum who could contradict that?
