  • 6.3. Haemoglobin > 10 g/dl (100g/l)
  • 6.4. Serum creatinine and bilirubin < 1.5 times upper normal limit
  • 6.5. Aspartate Aminotransferase (ASAT), alanine Aminotransferase (ALAT) < 3 times upper normal limit
  • 7. No other medical condition likely to interfere with treatment or the assessment of its efficacy
  • 8. Patient is on the lowest steroid dose, which gives optimal functional improvement
  • 9. Written informed consent
