Advantages of using a filter during transfusion

Hello Mumtaz!

                  Thanks for the tip. I will talk to the Tx people, lets see if they can do this for us.. Have you tried using a filter that we have been discussing in this post. If you have do let me know how has it affected your child.


Thanks

A-o-A mr tariq
still we r using the same method(using RBC after wash), because filter is little bit costly and as u know this deciese is not for one or two months. so try to come up step by step.
i mean to say first we was using RBC without wash, then after some time my son got problem, so now we r using RBC after wash,
and inshallah i hope that this method will be good for him in feature, if he got again problem continusely then i will think about filter,

Hi Khalifa,

Blood is free here in Pakistan. It is only the transfusion cost that some places charge. After all the blood bags, test kits and processing/storing the components cost serious money. Most of the Thal. centers and govt. based hospital are totally free.

Hi and Salam asim!   
 
                       Thanks... Sajid has been of great help on the site.. i haven't posted anything on the site but i closely follow the discussions they are of great help... Life style in Kuwait and gulf areas are much better than those of pakistan ( hence the outflow of people from pakistan to Kuwait and other countries). But nevertheless the government and especially private organizations where my daughter and sajid go for transfusions are doing a good job at taking care of Thalassemic patients. But i really wish that everyone here in Pakistan (rich and the poor) has access to the best care like there is in foreign countries.

@mrtariqkhan ok so tell us a little about yourself too where in isb do you live i mean in which sector and where do you get your daughters transfusion from?

Hi,
   We live in I-10 and we go to Jamila Sultana foundation located on sixth road Rawalpindi - courtesy of sajid here, i read his post and started going there  ( Thanks)....

Hi Mr. Tariq,

I never got the chance to meet you but I didn't know that it was your wife and lovely daughter there probably on her first Tx at JSF. I hope our appointment date coincides once more and we get to meet each other. I sure love to meet each and every person on this site. That would be a dream come true

hi ! 
       yeah, i wish the same.... but i am unable to come for huda's Tx as everyone here operate in the day. But, you can meet my daughter  my wife tells me that everyone at the Tx center give her a lot of love.. she also told me that you were not feeling well.. is everything okey?

Yeah I've been having some health issues lately but I think I had met your wife quite some time ago before this nose bleeding stuff started. How did she find out???

@mrtariqkhan i wish to meet every thalassemia releted person around me to and it really helps like for example i met a thalassemic friend (who is now my best friend) he told me about jamilah sultana then i told sajid about it and sajid posted it here and i am very happy that i told sajid because now more and more people can avail this opportunity
