peglem Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Got some new blood work. His IGA is low. Emaied MD waiting for answer. Vitamin D very low too. Hummm When was his last IVIG prior to the blood draw? When was his last PEX before the draw? Could the PEX have filtered the IgG?
melanie Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Posted March 22, 2012 I think it was a few days before. He does them every 21 days. The PEX was November. His thyroid was high too.
JAG10 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 One doc told me the body can start making antibodies to IgA with repeated IVIG. There is a test for it. How low was it?
peglem Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Okay, forgive me for misreading- low IgA- I thought IgG (really, my 1st grandchild was born Monday and was hospitalized today w/ an infected umbilical chord and Allie is in a flare...sigh). Allie has been low IgA since the 1st time we tested, before any immune treatment. She is also IgE deficient. So, was IgA normal in the past? Was it the TSH that was high, or T3 and/or T4? Will they check for thyroid and IgA autoantibodies?
