erythropoietin levels?

Hi Julia-
Amen to that! Grant is now trying Danazol, 200mg bid, along with 125 cyclosporine. It's been about 4 1/2 weeks now and I don't think there is much improvement. I think daclizumab is on the list as one thing we will try next.

I was looking at some of the labs that were done when we went for the consult at Cleveland Clinic prior to starting the Danazol. One was for erythropoietin level and another was haptoglobin. I don't recall him being tested for these two things in the past.

Can anyone give me any interpretive info on understanding this lab result?

Epo value was 855

Haptoglobin level was <20

Hematocrit on this day was 32.4
