Title: Transfusion interval is decreasing
Post by: Keru my angel on December 05, 2018, 04:33:13 AM

Dear all,
My daughter is 9 years old. Earlier she needed transfusion every 4 weeks but since a year the requirement is decreased n now she needs every 15 n sometimes every 10 days. Her ferritin is around 4000.
Pls advise. Thanks.

Has she been checked to see if she has had an antibody reaction to the transfusions? It may be that the blood needs to be better matched.
