Avatar f tn Did your doctor test your thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb)? Here is a study on hereditary angioedema and these thyroid antibodies (thyroid microsomal antibodies is another term for TPOAb). "Sera from 91 patients with hereditary angioedema were screened for thyroid antibodies. The results for the 77 patients more than 17 years old were compared with previously published data for the prevalence of thyroid disease in a large community (Whickham).
Avatar f tn acute allergic angioedema, non-allergic drug reactions, idiopathic angioedema or hereditary angioedema. The swelling occurs when small blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissues leak watery liquid. It is important that you know which type you have for proper management. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn It could indicate an allergic reaction. It could be Angioedema, which is swelling of the deeper layers of the skin. The swelling is often severe and is caused by a build-up of fluid. The symptoms of angioedema can affect any part of the body. Many people with angioedema also have another condition called urticaria, which is also known as hives. This is a raised, red and itchy rash that appears on the skin. Angioedema is of four types allergic, idiopathic, drug induced and hereditary.
Avatar m tn She saw an allergist and went through a series of test and it was determined that it was Hereditary Angioedema. It can happen without warning, however things you are allergic to can be a trigger. Also ASPRIN IS A TRIGGER. She has to be VERY careful not to take anything with asprin or she will swell. Try seeing an allergist and be tested for Hereditary Angioedema. Warning!! You will have approx. 13 tubes of blood drawn and you will have the standard allergy test.
Avatar n tn There are two basic types of angioedema.
Avatar f tn Lipoma is found among people with Multiple sclerosis, especially people who are female, 50-59 old, also have Constipation, and take medication Avonex. We study 61 people who have Lipoma and Multiple sclerosis from FDA and social media. Find out below who they are, other conditions they have and drugs they take. You are not alone: join a support group for people who have Multiple sclerosis and Lipoma .. This is just one of many that have lipomas with MS . So there is definitely an association.
Avatar m tn MS means Multiple Sclerosis. You happened to post you question in a forum dedicated to the discussion of multiple sclerosis :-) I'm not a radiologist, but the laguae from thee report points to vasular issues rather than nerve issues. MS attacks nerves. This may be why the doc wants a CT scan.
Avatar f tn I think the only relationship between MS and Psoriasis is their possible origins within the immune system. It's possible (for a very unfortunate person) to have both but I don't think it would be expected. Having a parent with MS probably places you at a small increased risk of developing the disease but there are many factors believed to be at play. There is no direct hereditary link that I'm aware of. I hope others here who have a much longer history can confirm that for you.
Avatar f tn Recent studies In 2005, researchers at the Serono Genetics Institute (SGI) achieved a major milestone in identifying and creating a register of genes involved in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). For the first time in this disease area, researchers identified 80 genes involved in the inflammatory and neuro-degenerative pathways of MS, based on a 40% genome scan comparing the genetic profile of a total of 1,800 people with MS and healthy individuals in different populations.
