Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD): How to build the immune system?

Hi @mrsmarvl, I added your question to the Blood Cancers & Disorders support group as well. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disorder that occurs when a type of white blood cell, called a phagocyte, doesn't work properly.

I assume this is something your husband has had since childhood. Some people may not be diagnosed until adulthood. Has this only been recently diagnosed for your husband?

I just had a CT scan done to see where my kidney stone was. I was told I had a UTI and that my 3mm stone had left my kidney. Didn't think something that little could be so painful, but it dropped me to my knees. Thankfully I passed it about 30 hours later. But when I was reading all my medical finding and blood work. I saw something that is concerning to me and I do not know what it means. " Granulomatous seen through out the spleen. Not sure why I wasn't told this or maybe it is nothing or over looked. ( I had this done while I was at the hospital in the ER). Can anyone tell me what this all means? Thank you Becky

Hello @overthehillsb,

I moved your discussion to a discussion titled,

"Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD): How to build the immune system?"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/granulomatous-disease/

Here you will meet @mrsmarvl, @megansims and @klsmidwestmom who have all mentioned granulomatous disease on Mayo Clinic Connect in the past.

@overthehillsb, are you able to contact your provider to discuss this diagnosis that you were unaware of?
