Guest guest Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 It's been a while since my last post here regarding my son, , and I hope although its Easter break, I am able to get some responses asap. s past diagnosis was transient CVID, when around 4 yo, and by 6yo had moved on to Absolute IgA deficiency and queried Selective Antibody deficiency (dependent on which immunologist interpreted results) and he has been on prophylactic abx for many years. 7 weeks ago , now 14yo, was hospitalised for upper right ab pain, subsequent u/s only found slightly bulky spleen but liver, pancreas etc looked fine. Bloodwork came back neutropenic and showed increased bilirubin. CT with contrast found bilateral medullary sponge kidneys with calcification but no issues with gallbladder, pancreas etc. Two weeks past with pain abaiting to perhaps 2/10, and not rising above 4/10. When it jumped to 8/10, this time with nausea, we made the drive to the childrens hospital 3 hours away and he was admitted for 10 days. The only testing done was endoscopy with biopsies, this due to query of gastritis due to long term NSAID and GERD. Aside from mucin depletion of stomach lining, I understand nothing untoward was found. Two days after discharge, was readmitted to our local country hospital for pain relief with pain up at 8/10 and vomitting. He is looking brighter today and has been discharged to spend Easter at home. So here is my query, and I am sorry for the very long post. Immunology hopped on board while was in the childrens hospital and re-ran testing that hadnt been done in years. I have been unimpressed with the team in the past and would like some feedback on what the following numbers may be indicating please, before I next speak with them. IgG 5.6 (6.1-13.0) IgA <0.07 (0.69-3.10) IgM 1.11 ((0.53-3.32) subclasses: IgG1 3.86 (3.70-12.80) IgG2 1.21 (1.06-6.10) IgG3 0.17 (0.18-1.63) IgG4 0.70 (<2.31) Lymphocyte count 1.8 (1.5-5.0 x10*9/L) CD3 (T Cells) 61 (58-76%) CD4 (CD4+TCells) 39 (30-52%) CD8 (CD8+TCells) 20 (18-40%) CD8 Absolute Count 360 (400-1300 x10*6/L) Pneumococcal IgG2 Antibody <1 (mg/L) Any feedback is hugely appreciated. , mum to and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
