Hi Birgitta-A,
I was told that Prednsione could be used if the Coombs test result was positive, i presume it meant if there was an autoimmune hemolysis. My mothers coombs result is negative. I think Prednisone has many roles and many uses, the doc says the risks outweigh the possible benefit, as my mother is fine(other than blood transfusions), he does not wish to disturb the balance.
