Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 It seems like everybody including me went to the neph this week. Well, good news 8 weeks on the 50 mg prednisone and 150mg cytoxan and my protein has dropped from 3.7 a month ago to 1.4. I was really happy about that. Creatin 1.7, was 1.5 last time but 2.0 the two times before, so still holding ok. CCR is still at 73 same from the very beginning, so overall a very good report. Neph tells me one more month on the cytoxan before switch to Imuran and also get to start lowering the prednisone if labs stay good. Have my fingers crossed. Also, he was very concerned about my White Blood Cell count while on the cytoxan but he says my body is tolerating it well. He did say that my Red Blood Cells were a little low and that I could add in a little more meat to my diet?? RBC was at 12.4, don't know much about RBC counts and the norm levels but he made it sound like that was close to norm but a little low. I didn't get a chance to ask him if that would be better than taking an iron supplement or what? Any ideas? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
