Do you know
what does human blood constitutes of? Red blood cells, white cells, plasma and
platelets are the basic constituents of human blood. Human plasma is the major
portion of the volume of blood in the human body. This substance contains water
and soluble proteins along with electrolytes in it. These soluble proteins are
further divided into two distinct categories. They are serum globulins and albumins. The globulins have enzymes as its
main constituents. It also has carrier proteins and immunoglobulin present in
them. However, the levels of each type of human
serum help in the determination of the health of a person and also indicate
the potential reasons for the cause of any disease. You can say immunity of an
individual.
Gamma globulin is the largest part of the plasma globulin
proteins in the blood of a person. These are also known as immunoglobulin or
antibodies. The B cells of the immune system in the body of a person are mainly
responsible for the production of these antibodies. Bacteria, virus which are
the main reasons for the growth of many diseases in the human body are
restricted by these antibodies. IgA, IgM, IgG, IgD and IgE are the main five
groups of antibodies which constitutes the immunoglobulin. The decrease in the
levels of these elements is one of the major indicators of a weakened immune
system in a person. This deficiency is one of the reasons why people become
victim of a particular disease or virus. However an increase in the level of
this particular component is indicative of blood cancers, lymphomas and
Multiple Myeloma. Nevertheless, having it in excess and in dearth both is not a
healthy indication. The individuals must have normal range of such Igs in their
body.
This globulin
has been taken into consideration by doctors and a new therapy has been
invented known as Gamma Globulins
therapy. Gamma Globulins therapy has
been found to be highly effective in the treatment of diseases like measles,
hepatitis A and Kawasaki disease (where the blood vessels experience an
abnormal inflammation). Additionally with the help of this therapy a kidney
donor will be able to be made compatible with the recipient regardless of the
match found in the blood and the tissues. This will also be a great help for
those people who cannot produce this substances in the natural method s they
can get the required amount of substance through transfusions. However, like
all the other human based products there is also a hint of negative side
effects in many individuals when these substances are being administered to
them.
Among the
minor side effects headache, muscle pain, backache, joint pain, feelings of
fatigue are the dominant ones. These side effects however decrease when your
body becomes attuned with the therapy that you are undertaking. However, you
must speak with your physician if the problem persists.
Among the
serious side effects that can take place in the body of a person includes
sweating, reddening of the face, increase in the heart beat and breathing
problems. If such signs are observed in a person, the physician must be
consulted at the earliest and preventive steps must be taken accordingly. These
are often the signs of an overdose of the treatment.
Therefore
this therapy including the globulins is a good therapy for curing many serious
diseases and ailments. Individuals just have to be a bit cautious and contact
the physicians if they find any side effects occurring after the therapy. This
will increase their safety. Also, it is always recommended to take such
therapies post the consultation from a medical person.
