Hello,
* The rare disorder of auto immune disturbances with antibodies against striated muscles is very notorious in prognosis and danger outcomes on a long period of time.
* As the steroid therapy has not been tolerated, its scope with
immunoglobulins is out of concern to discuss here.
However, there are recent molecules available in terms of
monoclonal antibodies and
cytokine mediators which help to halt the antibody response of the body to some extent.
* Kindly discuss the scope of newer advances in the condition of your son.
* If left untreated , it goes ultimately in multiple organ failure with
- deficiency of multiple nutrients
- kidney involvement with acute tubular necrosis
- adrenal crisis with lack of adrenal hormones
-
cachexia and weight loss
- low morals and
depression issues
- others.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
