My Immunologic Profile

As discussed in my previous post, I had my blood test done last April 22 at the Reproductive Immunology Center in TM Kalaw. My husband and I got the results first week of May. However, my OB was still abroad so we had to wait for her to interpret the results. We were scheduled to see her in last May 19. And the results, according to her, are as follows:

LAT
Reaction Code: 1 (for both I and II), thus, negative
%PRA: 0
*This means that I should undergo Lymphocyte Immunotherapy (LIT). My OB wants to refer me to Dr. Ed Lim. However, she warned us that this procedure will be too costly. 4 donors will be needed, 1 of which is my husband, and 3 others who are not blood related. A session could cost about P60K, and I would need about 4 sessions. This is on top of Dr. Ed Lim's hefty PF.

Lupus Anti-Coagulants
KCT: 100 (normal is 75)
APTT: 25 (normal is 20)
DRVVT: 30 (normal is 30)
*She prescribed Aspirin for this. 1/4 tab during lunch. I believe this is for APAS.

ACA results were normal.
Anti-thyroid Antibodies
*I'm actually confused here. She said I'm borderline because I got 91.60 in Anti-thyroglobulin, although the normal is <100. And I was ANA Negative.

NK Cells
As for the NK Cells (my blood samples were sent to the US - Rosalind Franklin University, Chicago, IL), here are the ones that alarmed her.
% CD3: 88.2 (normal is until 85 only)
% CD19+cells, CD5+: 16.4 (normal is until 10 only)
*For these, she said, I would need to undergo IvIg. This costs about P125K per session. I don't know if we could ever affor this. With all our expenses, and my impending plans of WAHWhood..

*My OB, since she's Chinese, gave me a more affordable alternative that would hopefully help improve my overactive NK Cells' killing capacity - ACUPUNCTURE. She gave me the contact details of Sis. Regina Liu. She asked us to give it a couple of months. And if there's an improvement, we might just need LIT and no more IvIg. (fingers crossed. sigh.). Anyway, I already scheduled an appointment with Sis. Liu in her Panay clinic this coming May 25 (my brother's birthday).
