what is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that leads to muscle weakness. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly targets and attacks the receptors on muscle cells, causing communication problems between nerves and muscles.
various forms of Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis (G70.00): This is the general category for Myasthenia Gravis without acute exacerbation, characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness.
Myasthenia Gravis with (acute) exacerbation (G70.01): This type of MG is characterized by sudden worsening of symptoms, requiring immediate medical attention.
what are the symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis?
The symptoms of MG can vary, but common signs include muscle weakness, especially in the muscles that control eye movement, facial expression, chewing, swallowing, and breathing.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES of Myasthenia Gravis?
The exact cause of MG is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The production of autoantibodies that interfere with nerve-muscle communication plays a key role in the development of the disease.
what are the TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR Myasthenia Gravis AT OMEGA HEALTH CLINICS?
At Omega Health Clinics, we offer advanced treatment options for Myasthenia Gravis, including:
- Bivigam 10%: Bivigam is an intravenous immune globulin therapy that can help improve muscle strength and reduce the severity of MG symptoms.
- Ultomiris: Ultomiris is a medication that helps to suppress the autoimmune response and manage MG symptoms.
- Vyvgart: Vyvgart is used to treat MG with acute exacerbation, providing rapid relief from worsening symptoms.
HOW IS Myasthenia Gravis DIAGNOSED?
Diagnosing MG involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and specialized tests, such as nerve conduction studies, repetitive nerve stimulation, and blood tests to detect autoantibodies.
