, and later developed an intracerebral absces and subdural effusion after sinusitis and discuss this event under the light of literature.Conclusions: If the patient develops a serious infections an evaluation of the immunologic profile is needed, to rull out an unnoticed selective IgA deficiency....
But I've seen cases of like alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency leading to cirrhosis, various types of forms of chronic liver disease. GI diseases, so celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis and Crohn's and GI bleeds as well. So, my first case of IgA nephropathy when I...
A negative tTG IgA result in an untreated patient does not rule out gluten-sensitive enteropathy. This result can often be explained by selective IgA deficiency, a relatively frequent finding in celiac disease. Results of this assay should be used in conjunction with clinical findings and other se...
The serological diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) often relies on the presence of anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA autoantibodies. Patients suffering from selective IgA deficiency (IgAD) are often not aware of their IgA deficiency and are tested as
IgA deficiency worsens glucose homeostasis during HFD Given that IgA+B cells and plasma cells within the intestine were primarily affected by HFD feeding, we next sought to determine a role for IgA in obesity and IR. IgA-deficient (Igha−/−, referred to hereafter as IgA−/−) mice ...
IgA antibody negative became antibody positive and three who were antibody positive became antibody negative. Five children with severe IgA deficiency remained severely IgA deficient and IgG antibodies to IgA persisted in all five at follow-up. The presence of IgG anti-IgA antibodies did not ...
Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin deficiency as a result of the destruction of pancreatic beta cells. It is divided into two subtypes, i.e. autoimmune type-1 (type-1A) diabetes and idiopathic (type-1B) diabetes [1]. Several lines of evidence suggest ...
The role of UG deficiency in the development of IgAN in mice has been convincingly demonstrated, but requires confirmation as a mechanism of human disease. Identification and positional cloning of disease/susceptibility loci in the ddY and HIGA mouse models have not been reported to date. The ...
The encoded protein plays an important role in the immune response, and defects in this gene cause leukocyte adhesion deficiency. ITGB2 was reported to be involved in cellular adhesion and ECM remodeling in patients with renal cancer [31]. Furthermore, ITGB2 was identified to be closely ...
