Question 1

food allergy blood testing done. results say class iii abnormal - wheat allergy. i also had a blood test - ige gluten- that came back as class iii abnormal (high) and a test - celiac (ab ttg dgp tiga w/rflx) that is negative. what does this all mean?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Why were these tests done? What symptoms do you have?  It would be prudent to see a GI  doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 2

what does a low antithrombin iii antigen mean?

Accepted Answer

Risk of blood clot: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, if the test was done correctly, it means that you are at risk for developing blood clots. You may wish to consult a hematologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

i tested a 89% on my congenital antithrombin iii deficiency test.. what im reading online is this isnt a good thing? can someone please explain? i cant get ahold of my doctor he is out for the week?

Accepted Answer

: I'm unsure of the normal ranges but 89% sounds ok. If one has antithrombin111 deficiency she'd have a family history of clotting disorder as it's a congenital condition that's treated with anticoagulant therapy especially if one has had otherwise unexplained phlebitis. Was the test done because of a clotting issue or a family history of one? Were other coagulation tests also done?

Question 4

i had 3 to 4 blood clots in lungs and hospital did a test to see why i had them fibringen antithrombin iii protein c protein c antigen all high?

Accepted Answer

Not the cause of PE: Pulmonary embolism (pe) is an abnormal clot. Your docs are looking for cause. Fibrinogen is an acute phase reactant and is not likely a cause of your clot. Low protein c and low at-iii can contribute to pe; however your values are high and therefore did not contribute to your pe. I am sure your docs are looking for other causes. Good luck.

Question 5

7 wks 3 days pregnant i got blood tests. protein s, activity is 39. protein c, factor v/viii, prothrombin, b2 glycoproteins, lupus anticoagulant, cardiolipin, antithrombin iii are normal. i have always bled easy and no history of clots. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

: This sounds good overall but the tests you mention are usually done because of clot history rather than bleeding history.  An older test called a “bleeding time” test can help diagnose certain bleeding disorders like Bon Willebrand’s disease which could definitely affect the amount of bleeding after delivery of an infant.

Question 6

which medicine to take for allergies is most effective?

Accepted Answer

Intranasal steroids: In milder cases of allergy, otc antihistamines such as claritin, allergra and zyrtec can be used.The most effective medications for more severe cases are nasal steroids such as flonase(now generic), nasonex, (mometasone) Omnaris which are liquid sprays, and Qnasl and zetonna which are dry. Head to head studies show that nasal steroids(vs antihistamines)are much better for congestion and allergy symptoms. Vers.

Question 7

could you tell me what's the best medicine for cold/allergies?

Accepted Answer

Treating congestion: Cold/allergies are usually a very vague and general term to descibe of nasal congestion, runny nose, cough due to post nasal drip and headache if there are sinus infections. Depending what causes it and how severe your symptoms are, best treatment can be different. If you can be more specific, it would be helpful. Otherwise, you should see a doctor to be evaluated to see which treatment is best.

Question 8

why lately i suffer allergy when take medicine which have pseuoeephedrine?

Accepted Answer

Medication Allergies: There is no answer to the 'why' in these medical questions. There just is the reality that you are allergic to pseudoephedrine.

Question 9

what to do if i have a horrilbe allergy please someone which one is the best medicine?

Accepted Answer

No single one: Depending on the severity of your condition. 
There is no one best drug for anyone but most people respond well to intranasal cortisone + a intranasal antihistamine. Dymista is currently the only rx drug with this combination. 
Avoidance remains the best and consider allergy shots if your symptoms are not adequately controlled.  However allergy shots are not medicine.

Question 10

how long before allergy medicine works?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Depending upon the medication used, the time until the onset of effect will vary. Generally antihitamines work relatively quickly and inhaled steroids may take a week or so to have ful effect.
