Monitoring of erythropoiesis by serum transferrin receptor levels in a case of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and pure red cell aplasia treated with ciclosporin.
[en] The authors present the case of a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia complicated by pure red cell aplasia. Successful treatment with ciclosporin was facilitated by assay of serum transferrin receptor, which demonstrated a prompt and sustained response of marrow erythropoiesis to this therapy.
