Snippet: The results of this study indicate success in maintaining remission using a rapid glucocorticoid tapering schedule with use of a secondary immunosuppressant. These data are similar to that anecdotally achieved by prolonged treatment with glucocorticoids with a presumed decrease in severity of side effects of prolonged glucocorticoid therapy. One explanation for this reported decrease in RBC survival is that, during a transfusion, there is an incr.....
Document: The results of this study indicate success in maintaining remission using a rapid glucocorticoid tapering schedule with use of a secondary immunosuppressant. These data are similar to that anecdotally achieved by prolonged treatment with glucocorticoids with a presumed decrease in severity of side effects of prolonged glucocorticoid therapy. One explanation for this reported decrease in RBC survival is that, during a transfusion, there is an increase in shearing stresses that damage RBCs as blood is forced through an in-line microaggregate filter.
