Have had myasthenia gravis. On prednisone. Knee replacement with anesthesia. Any advice?
Answered by
Thanks for any advice.
Thank you for posting your query.
MG (myasthenia gravis) is an auto-immune disease with circulating antibodies in the blood, which weaken the muscles. The level of antibodies in the blood determines the severity of illness in most cases.
Prednisolone is a drug that reduces the level of these antibodies thereby reducing the severity of MG.
Any stress including surgery or GA may worsen the MG and may lead to crisis.
The fact that yiu have done well is a good news.
Please get back for any more queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM XXXXXXX consultant Neurologist
