Hi -
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with low white counts while on Imuran? After WBC came back at 2.6, we were told to hold the Imuran for a week, and repeat the CBC. WBC went back up to 5.2, but at the time of the low white count, the dr also added an Imuran level. Today they said that the 6tg came back low, and they said to restart the Imuran, but at a lower dose, then we'll recheck in 1 week.
Does this make sense? I found a chart thru the posts on here and it says if 6tg is low, then you should increase the dose?? But then that doesn't correlate with the WBC??
Of course our dr is on vacation this week, so this is the advice of another dr. Just want to make sure everything is being interpreted correctly.
Thanks!!
