Ayurvedic Treatment For Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome

Abstract

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome is a rare genetic disorder of the immune system. In this syndrome an abnormally high number of white blood cells (lymphocytes) gathers in lymph nodes, liver and spleen, thus leading to increase in size of these organs. Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome causes anemia (decreased RBCs), thrombocytopenia (decreased platelets) and neutrophils. In this article we are going to discuss Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome in detail and the ayurvedic aspect as well as ayurvedic treatment of the disease.

Introduction

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome is a rare disease of genetic disorders of the immune system. In this syndrome the body cannot counter the lymphocytes, thus results in excessive production of lymphocytes and cause gathering of lymphocytes, thus enlargement of lymph nodes, liver and spleen. This syndrome increases the risk of cancer of lymphoma. Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome is generally caused by mutation of FAS gene in an autosomal dominant manner. In some cases there are somatic mutations. Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome mainly causes decrease in white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Treatment includes medications, blood transfusion and splenectomy. In Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome there is dysregulation in programmed cell death, i.e. there is delay in signal from brain to death of the cells. As there is delay in cell death so there is excessive accumulation of cells that cause abnormal buildup of white blood cells.
