Platelet count after IVIG
Hello all. My son just had his first dose of IVIG last week. His platelets went from under 2,000 to almost 675,000. My pediatrician has us scheduled with a pediatric hematologist in a month. He said that if I noticed anything unusual to give him a call. They wanted to be sure his platelets didn't continue

Acute vs chronic ITP
Hello everyone. My experience with ITP began on this past Thursday though I didn't know it at the time. My son is 5 years old and was playing at school when another child scratched him on the face. We had a very difficult getting it to stop bleeding. I attributed this to the fact that it was a face

Lower back pain when walking
I was treated with steroids, Azathioprine and had
immunoglobulin
transfusion. I also was referred to rheumatologist as my haematologist thought I may have SLE lupus but this was dismissed by rheumy.

What is an allergy?
Contact with these makes their body react aggressively, producing in many cases so-called
immunoglobulin
(IgE) antibodies, and activating immune cells, such as eosinophils or mast cells. This usually happens after repeated exposure.

Who has PBC / AIH overlap or 'probable overlap'? What did your biopsy show? How are you treating both simultaneously?
So, if life with the fear of facing my newly identified disease isn't already confusing, I had my biopsy last week and received inconclusive results Monday. Based on elevated LFT's, AMA, and high IGM (but not elevated ALP), my doctor ordered the biopsy to get a clearer picture of my 'probable PBC'. The

Which blood work and/or criteria was used to diagnose your PBC?
I'm 49, female and my gastroengerologist has quickly made the PBC diagnosis based on positive AMA (84.4 units , pos = >24.9), elevated AST (44, scale of 0-40), ALT (38, scale of 0-32), and high IGM 730 (scale of 40-230). My ALB and BIL are within acceptable range and three separate tests have also shown
