Can myasthenia gravis be treated, and is myasthenia gravis treated?

The full name of myasthenia is myasthenia gravis, which can be **, not an incurable disease. Myasthenia is an immune disease of the nervous system, and the onset is related to thymic hyperplasia, thymoma or thymic carcinoma, so the preferred method is thymectomy. After the surgery, the patient's symptoms will improve significantly.

In addition to surgery, it is necessary to cooperate with other **, if the symptoms of muscle weakness in the acute phase are more serious and affect the function of breathing, plasma exchange**, immunoglobulin**, and hormone shock** can also be used. Hormonal shocks** can cause a temporary exacerbation of the condition, and it is necessary to be prepared for endotracheal intubation and maintained on a ventilator through the critical period. Immunosuppressants** can be used during the stable phase of the disease, such as cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, etc., and the specific choice of drug needs to be used rationally under the guidance of a specialist.

In addition to the method of immunization**, it is also necessary to treat the symptoms ** and relieve the symptoms, and the commonly used drug is pyridostigmine bromide.

Myasthenia gravis can be cured and is an acquired autoimmune disease. Myasthenia gravis is a disease caused by immune confusion or immune abnormality, and there are many drugs that suppress immunity, and the effect is very good, and they can be used for myasthenia gravis, such as tacrolimus, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, emulan, hormones (glucocorticoid hormones), gamma globulin, plasma exchange, etc., and there are many means. Therefore, myasthenia gravis can be treated, and the effect is particularly good.

Drugs**. 1) Cholinesterase inhibitors: such as pyridostigmine bromide, is the most symptomatic drug and the main drug for most children.

2) Drugs that suppress the immune response: Because long-term use may cause serious ***, it must be closely monitored by a doctor during the period of taking the drug. These medications include:

Immunosuppressants, such as cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, etc.

Glucocorticoids, such as prednisone, and various types of myasthenia gravis may be used. The application of long-term rules can significantly reduce the ** rate. After complete remission, the dose is maintained for another 4 to 8 weeks, and then the dose is gradually reduced to the minimum dose that can control the symptoms, and is taken daily or every other day in the morning for a total of 2 years.

Some children may have transient myasthenia in the first 1 to 2 weeks, so it is best to be hospitalized for observation for a short time at the initial use.

Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, are given intravenously and are often used in children who have not responded to other methods or are too large.

3) High-dose intravenous gamma globulin and plasma exchange**: both are mainly used for the rescue of refractory myasthenia gravis or myasthenic gravis crisis. Patients with elevated circulating anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody titers may be more effective.

It is effective in some children, but both are expensive, and the maintenance time is short, and repeated medication is required to consolidate the effect.

2.Surgery**.

In children who are refractory to medical control, thymectomy may be considered. In addition, thymectomy should be performed as soon as possible in children with myasthenia gravis who are suspected of thymoma to help rebalance the immune system, thereby reducing symptoms and reducing the dose of medication.

Surgery is more effective in patients with elevated serum anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody titers and for less than two years of disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine can be cured, it takes patience and time. At least one year or more.
