Clinical report on treatment of 7 patients with refractory anemia by using cyclosporin A / 中国实验血液学杂志

To explore the treatment of refractory anemia (RA), 7 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (subtype of refractory anemia) were treated in combination of cyclosporin A (CsA) with stanozolol. Duration of treatment with CsA was 5 months-3 years (mean 13 months). The results showed that among 7 cases 6 were effective, 1 case no responded to treatment. 3 cases out of 6 effective cases achieved complete remission without transfusion dependence, 1 cases achieved partial remission, 2 cases were improved. During the investigation signs of leukemia ot other malignant tumors not were found in all cases. In conclusion, CsA treatment is effective for part cases of RA, side effects of drugs are tolerable for patients.
