mycophenolate mofetil iga nephropathy

Also, I have IgA nephropathy and have been on low dose immunosuppressant (mycophenolate mofetil 250 mg twice daily) for the past 1.5 years. 4 days ago, I noticed a little bump in on my labia minora. and I thought maybe it was a boil and tried to break it. It is now pus filled and looks like a zit. its just the one. I have no tingling or itching tho there is some pain now after i messed abt with it which is kinda like the pain i feel with zits anywhere.

I can sort of answer your first question. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or Cellcept has been extensively researched for its use in myasthenia gravis. Also, it carries a FDA black box warning that it may increase your chances of infection, lymphoma and congenital malformations (for pregnant women). Also, its optimal dose is yet undecided. Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) is the usual first line treatment for MG.

I've been told I have IgA Nephropathy. The Doctor says 'it not a big thing' i.e it's nothing to worry about. And he says 'we'll monitor it.' The problem for me is that I get flank/loin pain, i.e if I walk/stand too long, I get a numb area around my side and/or back. If I cough, I get pain near my upper right rib [or not too far from it], it feels like I've been punched. The Doctor says it has nothing to do with IgA Nephropathy. Is he right?

Im 10 weeks pregnant and recently diagnosed with IGA nephropathy...I'm scared...Friday I have app.to go over the results.. I don't know what stage I have.

The standard therapy options include intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapharesis, corticosteroids, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, etanercept, mycophenolate mofetil, interferon alpha 2a and tacrolimus. Current ones are interferon beta 1a, rituximab, and high dose cyclophosphamide. Your neurologist needs to apprise you of the long-term side effects since prolonged therapy are required. Botox shots are not known to be used in therapy.

Hi, Thin basement membrane disease (TBMD, also known as benign familial hematuria and thin basement membrane nephropathy) is, along with IgA nephropathy, the most common cause of asymptomatic hematuria. The only abnormal finding in this disease is a thinning of the basement membrane of the glomeruli in the kidneys. Its importance lies in the fact that it has a benign prognosis, with patients maintaining a normal kidney function throughout their lives.

I am not on Cellcept which is Mycophenolate Mofetil 1g morning and 1g night. This is a fantastic immunposuppressant. Basically what I am telling you is that at any time your body cannot any longer tolerate one drug, there is always another waiting. The one I am on now is more 'pure' in other words there are less chemicals in in to effect the liver. It might be worth a mention if you are uncertain but many people are able to tolerate your medication for many years.

I am not sure what IGA nephropathy is. I have a humoral immune defect called CVID. Anyways, I am going to see the nephrologist to see if he can help me with the hypertension which is up and down despite medicine.

Hi, yes you need to see a nephrologist. It could be IGA Nephropathy or kidney infections. You need to be checked for shapes of those RBCs and 24 hour protein volumn plus a pelvic ultra sound.

it is very common to have them switched up every once in awhile. I have a diagnosis of IGA nephropathy and have been in the medical field for years. If you have any questions, you can send me a message. Take care.

When both blood and protein are present it often indicates an inflammatory state that is causing the kidneys to have problems. Possibilities include IgA nephropathy, post-strep glomerulonephritis, Alport's syndrome, and many other glomerulonephritic condtions. When blood and protein are persistently in the urine it is important to be evaluated by a kidney specialist (a nephrologist).

I was JC+ before I even started Tysabri and am about one and a half years into it now, still taking it..............I talked to the Tysabri regional rep about it and they still feel our chances of PML are very low.

I am on 750 urso three times a day now.. I am 52. I am now on Cellcept (mycophenolate Mofetil) 1g twice daily. This is because the other meds like Azathioprine and Mercaptopurine disagreed with me intensely and I turned a beautiful shade of butterscotch and was oh so ill. This new drug has less chemicals in and suits me very well, in fact I walked 6 miles in Jordan as opposed to not even being able to get out of bed.

m diagnosed with IGA nephropathy on kidneys so the same type of diet I follow.. I feel the same way about not having transplant. I prefer to change my diet .doctor told me I'm stage 1 because kidney function is still good...but I think low protein diet can stabilize it..

HLA-DR4 is also involved in some autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, phemphigus, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, IgA nephropathy, and polymyalgia rheumatica. It is associated to different ethnic groups, including Askenazi Jews. Cases of false positive results of HIV tests have been associated to the presence of HLA-DR4, not false negative.

I am being successfully treated for a rare autoimmune condition with 15 mg prednisone and 1 gr mycophenolate daily. Although mycophenolate use involves a risk of opportunistic HSV infections, I was not warned about this. I recently had sex WITH A CONDOM with a partner whose status for HSV infection is unknown. Within about a day, I had developed numerous lesions. These spread rapidly and my doctor said they had an appearance consistent with HSV.

It has been a long time since Ive posted, but I finally have some diagnoses. I have IGA nephropathy, epilepsy and UCTD. She is going to give it 2 years with UCTD and if I dont develop a more definitive autoimmune disease, then thats the diagnosis. Progress. She has placed me on Plaquenil and it is helping a lot with my fatigue. Things are looking up.

Hi, glad you have been diagnosed, this can often get misses as indeed mine was for some time. I have PBC aswell which was what I was diagnosed with first. I agree that you should always check on other suppliments. I only take cod liver oil tablets as a supplement with my meds. Just a thought though, if you ever feel unwell on your meds, please do not be afraid to challenge your doc. I took mine as instructed and became so ill.

Tacrolimus-based immunosuppression is utilized in 70 centers (86.42%). Triple therapy using tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and steroids is the most common regimen (41%). Six programs (7.4%) use steroid-free protocols. In nine centers (11%) steroids are discontinued within a week, 56% within 3 months, and 98% within the first year. At 75% of centers, mild rejection is treated by increasing baseline immunosuppression.
