My brother aged 27 has been diagnosed with Ankylosing spondilitis.
He has gone through multiple blood tests from past one year but there seems no improvement. His health is getting poorer as time passes.
His blood test details are as follow
Date 26 SEP 2012
Hemoglobin - 15
ESR - 15
HLB27 - +ve
Date 19 Dec 2012
Hemoglobin - 12.4
ESR - 82
TLC - 11,000
Date 19 Feb 2013
Hemoglobin - 11.9
ESR - 95
CRP - 41.55
TLC - 5800
Date 02 Jul 2013
Hemoglobin - 10.5
ESR - 113
CRP - 11.1
TLC - 13100
There are other tests results as well. He is on a regular dosage of Indocap and Dovin. All I want to know is if these test reports are indicate any thing that is life threatening. Doctors (Rheomotologists and many more specialists like orthopedics) say, there is no proper treatment for this disease and the medication he is being given is to help him with stiffness and mobility.
Please advise if this can be cured and also if this is a life threatening disease.
Thank you!
