What is the life expectancy of someone with Evans Syndrome?
Life expectancy of people with Evans Syndrome and recent progresses and researches in Evans Syndrome
Life expectancy is completely unknown because Evans is so unpredictable. Anything is possible. I could have a severe relapse tomorrow and not survive it, or I could live a normal lifespan. This is not a disorder where anyone can give a live expectancy. So my expectation is a normal lifespan.
The biggest risks for me are if I have a severe relapse and don't respond to any treatments. The other big risk for me is because I had a splenectomy to treat Evans, there are increased risks of blood clots and sepsis.
There is a lot of research happening right now about the immune system. My view is that advances in treatment will probably come from this research, although I don't know of any research specific to Evans right now.
