That sounds like it is the ARETIC. If my memory is correct on this, when someone with SAA has an ARETIC at 50 and above, it is one of the criteria they look at to classify SAA and above 50, you are no longer consider to be in the severe category of AA. John's aretic is in the 70 range and that's with a HGB of 11.5 which is still low but livable.
High Dose Cytoxan is not done by very many docs in the USA. But you can always have your doc call Hopkins to consult.
