IVIg Infusions for autoimmune neuropathy

I haven't had IV1g influsions. Are her kidney function tests good? IV1g can impact kidneys. My polyneuropathy is still early and is associated with MGUS and celiac. I assume by elevated proteins that your mother was also tested for MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) and had blood electrophoresis tests. My IgA, IgG, and now IgM levels are elevated because of light chain kappa MGUS. Some of my plasma cells are L-shaped instead of Y-shaped. The deformed L plasma cells (sticky proteins) attack the peripheral nervous system, and can cause a host of symptoms.

Hi @kayabbott , we are very new to this. So I am trying to research as much as I can about what is happening to mom. This debilitating illness started to snowball after she started Jardience. Her kidney function is good. I don’t know what MGUS is, but she was checked for celiac disease and that’s not an issue. I have to check all the tests that were done to see if those you mentioned are there. If you don’t mind me asking, what are your symptoms? Thank you for responding.
