DiGeorge Syndrome Treatment

Currently we can say no for treatment of DiGeorge Syndrome. Despite the very advanced technology of our modern world, even the best medical minds still fail to develop a cure for DiGeorge Syndrome. This is mainly because of the fact that chromosomes and genetics are still very complicated as well as very complex things that are really hard to even understand. So, it is just obvious that when it is hard to understand, a definite cure is very hard to develop as well.

However, the main battle is not getting rid of the DiGeorge Syndrome. Instead, the patient must always strive to endure all of the complications that come with DiGeorge syndrome. Proper and immediate treatment must be ready to be provided to the patient when something bad happens to him or her. Though these medical treatments or medications may save the life of the patient or cure any complication that may come with the DiGeorge syndrome, it is still not a cure for the syndrome and the complication may reappear sooner or later. But in either way stay positive and a cure may soon be developed in the future.

Digeorge Syndrome: How to Diagnose

Your doctor will ask about symptoms and medical history, and do a physical exam. Other tests may include:
  • Blood tests-to rule out other conditions, detect parathyroid hormone levels, and discover immune problems
  • Genetic tests-to look for deletions in chromosome 22
  • Chest x-ray-a test that uses radiation to take pictures of structures inside the body, especially to determine if the thymus is present.
