Coronavirus - very worried

I now require immunoglobulin infusions weekly to maintain my immune system. Have been careful over the last month or so but am now going into purdah as I am in a very high risk group. Please be careful all you people who are at risk until things become clearer. Best wishes. PamI now require immunoglobulin infusions weekly to maintain my immune system.

Why Is the Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Gene Mutation Status a Prognostic Indicator in CLL? - Dr Keating

A complex but interesting read Acta Haematol August 2018;140:51–54 The immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IgHV) mutation status correlates with the clinical outcome of patients with CLL treated with chemoimmunotherapy.A complex but interesting read Acta Haematol August 2018;140:51–54 The immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IgHV) mutation status correlates with the clinical outcome of patients with CLL treated with chemoimmunotherapy.

Coronavirus

Any idea how long it takes for Immunoglobulin to get to normal level? Also does PMR itself make us more prone to catching Coronavirus? I am 63 don’t mind self isolating for a couple of weeks but months would be horrendous !Any idea how long it takes for Immunoglobulin to get to normal level?

Newly diagnosed just before Christmas

Due to another condition, I have monthly immunoglobulin IV infusions, periodic courses of steroids - this combination seems to have flipped me into diabetes. I started to have very blurry vision 2 days after finishing last course of steroids.Due to another condition, I have monthly immunoglobulin IV infusions, periodic courses of steroids - this combination seems to have flipped me into diabetes.

Richter Transformation Survival in CLL Appears Better Among Treatment-Naive

The researchers identified 3 factors associated with increased risk for transformation: advanced Binet stage (P<.001), unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain variable IGHV genes (P <.001), and del(17p) (P <.001).The researchers identified 3 factors associated with increased risk for transformation: advanced Binet stage (P<.001), unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain variable IGHV genes (P <.001), and del(17p) (P <.001).

Lab Report - first sight today

The red figures are: Total bilirubin serum H23 Immunoglobulin M L.0.25 WBC 14 (it was 7 in November) Lymphocyte count H9.6 Vit.B12 serum L170 CLL score 4/5 67% disease in all lymphocytes 38% disease in all TNCs If anyone can help to explain I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

Finally a diagnosis not B12 def

I kept up with supplementation but the only thing that helped was an initial immunoglobulin injection. finally I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in April. it will be a long road to recovery but at least I can start treatment.I kept up with supplementation but the only thing that helped was an initial immunoglobulin injection. finally I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in April. it will be a long road to recovery but at least I can start treatment.

Is low IgM a side-effect of CLL drug treatment?

Immunoglobulin M (IgM), which is found mainly in the blood and lymph fluid, is the first antibody to be made by the body to fight a new infection. Does IgM tend to be remain low as a result of taking Rituximab [Rituxan] or other CLL drugs?Immunoglobulin M (IgM), which is found mainly in the blood and lymph fluid, is the first antibody to be made by the body to fight a new infection.

GPA flare sinus pain

As the GPA took so much treatment with cyclophosphamide and rituximab to get under control the first time around, my IGG is so low that I will now need to go on immunoglobulin replacement.As the GPA took so much treatment with cyclophosphamide and rituximab to get under control the first time around, my IGG is so low that I will now need to go on immunoglobulin replacement.

Help with Coeliac test results needed

The other results are: Immunoglobulin A : 3.98 g/L Range 0.7 - 4 g/L Tissue Transglutaminase IGA: 0.70 U/mL Range 0 - 10 U/mL Can I assume from these I'm not Coeliac and also I'm wondering if the 'only just normal' results indicate anything else I could look at?
