Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 And I would like to add there are about 20 types of CMT, maybe even more by now. From everything I've read on types, in my medical files and talked to my MDs about, and listened to all you discuss your symptoms of certain types, it seems I don't have either 1 or 2. Even X isn't considered for me, although it once was. Maybe black sheep like me are Type 19! lol Kat, I liked the part of your post about the types being unpredictable! Amen! My CMT (whatever kind) is certainly THAT! ~ G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doctor has never mentioned types to me. One book I've read (I don't have it here) says some doctors feel that determining typology is a very useful tool in treatment in prognosis, while others don't think it matters much. Below, I'm paraphrasing and summarizing, for brevity. According to Palmer, there are two established categories of AIH, type I and II, and some believe there is a third. The categories are determined by the type of autoantibody present in the blood. Type I is the most common in the U.S.; it's characterized by the presence of ANA and SMA antibodies. Type II usually has no ANA or SMA but does have LKM Ab antibody present. LKM Ab is present primarily in AIH young women and children. About 4% of people with AIH in the US have Type II. It moves relatively rapidly toward cirrhosis if untreated. Type III (if it exists) is known as autantibody-negative AIH. People with this type don't show antibodies but have AIH characteristics. Progress is similar to Type I. Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
