Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You are suffering from aplastic anemia. definitive treatment for aplastic anemia is bonemarrow transplantation. But till you find hla matched donor you have to maintain your platelets and rbc count. So only option for that is pcv and platelet transfusion. you should go for leukoreduce pcv and single donor platelets transfusion as and when required tilll you get donor. After that go for bonr marrow transplantation.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. wish you a very good health.
