After dinner, I took my husky downstairs to walk my dog. I met Aunt Zhang from the neighborhood committee of the community. She told me that Lao Zhang in our community was weak two days ago when he was in the neighborhood committee. After she and Lao Zhang went to check, she knew that Lao Zhang had myasthenia gravis. After treatment, obviously a lot better, then, myasthenia gravis diagnosis method? You know what? Today, let me share with you the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis.

Diagnosis of myasthenia gravis

Treatment 1: thymectomy, if the condition worsens significantly, can be supplemented by plasma exchange, high-dose injection of immunoglobulin, hormone and cholinesterase inhibitor treatment.

Treatment 2: if the patient's condition is serious and can't be thymectomy, plasma exchange or high-dose immunoglobulin injection can be used, combined with hormone, and gradually transition to single hormone. Thymectomy can be performed after the patient's condition is improved and stable for 2 months, and the original dose can be maintained for 2 months, and then slowly reduced for 2-4 years until discontinuation.

Treatment 3: Patients with myasthenia gravis and critical patients who can not or refuse thymectomy preferred plasma exchange or high-dose injection of immunoglobulin, non critical patients preferred hormone therapy, in the process of hormone reduction can be added azathioprine and other immunosuppressants, reduce rebound phenomenon.

matters needing attention

I would also like to emphasize: in daily life, myasthenia gravis patients should also pay attention to the prevention of upper respiratory tract infection, avoid wind and cold, children with myasthenia gravis resistance is relatively poor, upper respiratory tract infection can promote the recurrence or aggravation of the disease, but also further reduce the body's resistance to the disease. Daily life is regular: at the beginning, we should arrange daily life order, go to bed early, get up early, don't stay up late, and work and rest together.
