Ukuchonga i-MS

Ukuchonga i-multiple sclerosis (MS) kuthatha amanyathelo aliqela. Elinye lamanyathelo okuqala luvavanyo lonyango ngokubanzi olunokubandakanya:

• uvavanyo lomzimba
• ingxoxo yazo naziphi na iimpawu
• imbali yakho yonyango

Ukuba ugqirha wakho ukrokrela ukuba une-MS, kungafuneka uthathe uvavanyo oluninzi. Oku kubandakanya uvavanyo lwe-lumbar puncture, ekwabizwa ngokuba yimpompo yomqolo.

Ukubaluleka kovavanyo

I-MS yabelana ngeempawu nezinye iingxaki zempilo, ke ugqirha wakho kuya kufuneka ukuba abone ukuba ngaba ngaba yi-MS ebangela iimpawu zakho hayi enye imeko.

Olunye uvavanyo ugqirha anokuthi alwenze ngaphandle kokuqinisekisa okanye ukuxilonga i-MS lubandakanya:

• iimvavanyo zegazi
• I-MRI, okanye imaging yamagnetic resonance
• kukhuphe uvavanyo olunokubakho

Yintoni impompo yomqolo?

Ukugqobhoza i-lumbar, okanye impompo yomqolo, kubandakanya ukuvavanya ulwelo lwakho lomqolo ngeempawu ze-MS. Ukwenza njalo, ugqirha wakho uya kufaka inaliti kwindawo esezantsi yomqolo wakho ukuze ususe ulwelo lomqolo.

Kutheni ufumana impompo yomnqonqo

NgokweKlinikhi yaseCleveland, i-lumbar puncture kuphela kwendlela yokuchonga ngokuthe ngqo nangokuchanekileyo ukuba ungakanani na ukudumba onako kwinkqubo yakho yeemvakalelo. Ikwabonisa nomsebenzi wamajoni akho omzimba kula malungu omzimba wakho, abalulekileyo ekuchongeni i-MS.

Yintoni onokuyilindela kwindawo yokugqobhoza i-lumbar

Ngexesha lokugqobhoza i-lumbar, ulwelo lomqolo ngokubanzi lutsalwa phakathi kwe-lumbar yakho yesithathu neyesine kumqolo wakho osezantsi usebenzisa inaliti yomqolo. Ugqirha wakho uya kuqinisekisa ukuba inaliti ibekwe phakathi kwentambo yakho yomqolo kunye nesimbozo sentambo, okanye iimenji, xa uzobe ulwelo.

Yintoni enokuboniswa ngokuhlatywa emlenzeni

Impompo yomqolo inokukuxelela ukuba inani leprotein, iiseli ezimhlophe zegazi, okanye i-myelin kulwelo lwakho lomqolo liphezulu kakhulu. Ingabonisa ukuba ulwelo olusemqolo wakho luqulathe inqanaba elingaqhelekanga lomzimba.

Ukuhlalutya i-spinal fluid yakho kungabonisa ugqirha wakho ukuba unenye imeko kwaye hayi i-MS. Ezinye iintsholongwane zinokubangela iimpawu kunye neempawu ezifanayo ne-MS.

Ukugqobhoza i-lumbar kufuneka kunikezwe kunye nezinye iimvavanyo ukuqinisekisa isifo. Inkqubo inokuveza imiba ngenkqubo yakho yokuzimela, kodwa ezinye iimeko ezichaphazela inkqubo yakho yeemvakalelo, njenge-lymphoma kunye nesifo seLyme, sinokubonisa amanqanaba aphezulu ee-antibodies kunye neeproteni kulusu lwakho lomqolo, kungoko isidingo sokuqinisekisa ukuxilongwa kunye novavanyo olongezelelweyo.

Kunzima ukufumanisa isifo

I-MS ihlala inzima koogqirha ukuyichonga kuba impompo yomqolo iyodwa ayinakungqina ukuba unayo i-MS. Ngapha koko, akukho vavanyo lunye olunokuqinisekisa okanye lukhanyele ukuxilongwa.

Olunye uvavanyo lubandakanya i-MRI yokufumana izilonda kwingqondo yakho okanye kwintambo yomqolo, kunye novavanyo olunokubakho lokunceda ukufumanisa umonakalo we-nerve.

Imbonakalo

Ukugqobhoza i-lumbar luvavanyo oluqhelekileyo olusetyenziselwa ukuxilonga i-MS, kwaye luvavanyo olulula ukwenziwa. Ngokuqhelekileyo linyathelo lokuqala lokumisela ukuba unayo i-MS ukuba ubonakalisa iimpawu. Ugqirha wakho uya kugqiba ukuba ngaba kufuneka iimvavanyo ezingaphezulu ukuqinisekisa ukuxilongwa.
