Avatar f tn Bacterial infection and neutropenia during peginterferon plus ribavirin combination therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C with and without baseline neutropenia in clinical practice. "...CONCLUSIONS: Bacterial infection during peginterferon-based therapy for CHC was associated with comorbidity of cirrhosis, but not with neutropenia, whether at baseline or during treatment. Neutropenic CHC patients might be treated safely with close monitoring." Infection. 2008 Jun;36(3):250-5.
Avatar n tn This is a hepatitis C forum. Many experience low white, red and platelet counts due to treatment drugs but it very different from myelodysplastic and I don't think anyone can advise you on this. Some people on hepc treatment require Neupogen, Procrit and others have had blood transfusion for anemia due to the effects of the treatment drugs, not the disease.
1669790 tn?1333662595 flcyclist I agree with Dave. You may already be beyond that point of backing off of neupogen. You don't want to risk having them reduce your interferon dose. I will look for the study, but I do think that ANC of 400 was the bottom of the acceptable, even for Hep C patients. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=anc+and+hepatitis+c&cp=19&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=&source=hp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=anc+and+hepatitis+c&pbx=1&bav=on.

The hemotologist will not treat hepatitis C, only the blood issues of neutrophenia (low absolute neutrophils) and anemia (not enough oxygen in the blood).
Avatar m tn Bone marrow suppression is a well-recognized toxicity of the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Reduction of the peginterferon dose because of neutropenia is common in clinical practice. However, reduction of peginterferon dose during the first weeks of HCV treatment is associated with failure to achieve sustained virological response.
