IgA Deficiency and PSC? any Information

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if any of you have been diagnosed with IgA deficiency

or if any of you have problems with ? I have IgA deficiency and

wondering what role this may play in the PSC. I haven't been able to

find much on the internet about IgA deficiency other then it's not that

uncommon; however, most people do not have symptoms. My daughter has

this disorder also and has symptoms which is why they tested me. This

problem can cause gastrointestinal and kidney problems, which is why I

think it might be a factor in the PSC; however, I forgot to ask the

hepatologist about this yesterday. I plan on doing so when we go over

my test results next week. I am currently being tested for

absorptions problems. The new Hepatologist that I saw yesterday said

he wanted to test several of my antibody levels, one of which was

Ceruloplasmin, which from what I can see is looking at cooper. Any

input would be appricated.
