Re: Gamma Globulin--liver enzymes

[Guest guest]

I never had the problem of elevated liver enzymes from GG nor have I heard

about anyone else with this reaction before.

Have not heard about it being a side affect either.

I wonder if it is possible it was caused by something else? But if it

happened to Gayathri it might not be a bad idea to have them checked before &

after

GG treatments to monitor it.

why do you think your liver enzymes elevated? Did your doctor

speculate on that? Maybe I'll google that to see if it's a side

effect of gamma. Thx.

I just googled it--and I see that autoimmune hepatitis

(occurring " naturally " ) is usually linked to elevated gammaglobulins

in the blood. So I guess you could have had a temporary autoimmune

heptatis artificialliy induced by the gamma.

Thanx for mentioning this, I will ask my doc, and I will probably get

liver function monitored. I wasn't planning on doing it weekly

anyway, and was also going to start very slow. I don't know how many

grams are in the bottle anyway...I will ask about that too.

I am very sure my liver enzymes got elevated due to GG .

My doctor did not plan to monitor my liver enzymes when I was on

IVIG. Probably he too thought this might not occur. But after my

third infusion, he just did his routine blood panel and found my

liver enzymes were very elevated.

We stopped the IVIG and after 3 weeks, the liver enzymes came to

normal values.

Thanks,

Gayathri.
