Kaposi Sarcoma

[Udasin]

how to diagnose kaposi sarcoma. I have tested Negetive for HIV but have a round circular bump in my lower leg which look like Kaposi Sarcoma..Is there any test to determine KS....

Hi Udasin,
I just received your question. Yes your complete blood count is normal in tha your WBC count is normal and the lympocyte count is normal percentage. However, to check your immune status you can get the CD4 (helper T cells) and CD 8 (suppressor T cells) done also. This is more specific. The normal range for CD4+ cells is 500-1500 per cubic milimeter of blood and the CD8 count is 150-1000 cells per cubic mm, however ranges vary depending on the lab testing the blood.  You can also get an overall general Immunoglubulin test for IgG and IgM.  You can easily ask your doctor to get these tests ordered for you.

the test is called cd count or
http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/cd4/tab/test

it can t show immune system damage 100% because even with normal counts if nagalase is very high immune system is suppresed anyway because there is no macrophages activation and immune system is blind

[Udasin]

My CBC test Shows WBC count  is 9000 and Lymphocyte 34%.Is it means I am a healthy person....What specific test should do for CD$ and T Cell Count???

Maybe you should call up that doctor and ask him specifically if he thought it was Kaposi's sarcoma or not. You could a second opinion from another doctor. But, since they didn't say you had it maybe you don't?  I would think he would have biopsied it if he thought it was suspicious.

i wish professor ruggiero or other researchers will assay this new generation gcmaf for potency on macrophages activation

[stef2011]

i can t reccomend their gcmaf unless they have indipendent assays like gcmaf.eu but it is interesting anyway to compare products on the market and costs
their gcmaf is 8300yen per vial, each 0.5 ml vial contains approximately 1500-2500 ng GcMAF while gcmaf.eu contains about 800ng gcmaf

new gcmaf generation, i just emailed about their product and they reported a patient with hbv+hcv+Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.here is their experience, it looks only hcv was not cleared by their gcmaf:

One patient who we are treating for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma also had HBV and HCV at the time of first visiting our clinic. This patient has been having weekly 0.5 ml GcMAF since August 2011. Pet CT shows no evidence of cancer in the lymph nodes and disappearance of the HBV in combination with anti-viral drugs (Entecavir/Baraclude). This patient also used 600mg oral Alpha Lipoic Acid daily and had some radiation therapy for the lymphoma. This initial good result lead us to begin treating more patients with HBV, HCV and HIV from the beginning of this year.

most doctors are ignorant, check immune status your self by cd counts and cd4/cd8 and nagalase and if you can afford start gcmaf from gcmaf.eu

bifidus yogurt and kefir, both home made, can help restore immune function, east also a lot of berry fruits with the yogurt at least 160gr daily, mostly blueberries

I have testes HIV several times after 1.5 years of possible exposure; test result is negative but I have so black circular mole in leg, liason in mouth..So I am very much confused. I visited a dermatologist and HIV specialist. He examined the mole with hand but didnt say anything.....

[mkh9]

I stand corrected. KS can be due to various different reasons as stated. Thanks for the information. The dianostic tests are correct though in addition to what was mentioned. And yes best to actually check for immuno suppression the CD4/CD8 cells are the way to go. Also, thanks for the other information.

also check all studies on gcmaf at gcmaf.eu and gcmaf.nl to rebuild your immune system....if you find your immune system to be damaged like it happened to me

i found nagalase at 6.7 one years ago and cd4/cd8 0.45, all regressed to normal after gcmaf but nagalase was very slow to decline, nov 2011 was still 2.1

[stef2011]

aids and kaposi sarcoma can be present anyway, no need to be hiv+ to have aids or be immune suppressed, i myself was immune supressed and hiv negative

check your immuen system status, cd4/cd8 test will show if your immune system has problems, there is also atest which detects cancers much before they show up, any type of cancer, which is nagalase test.
it is a research level test and is not totally reliable because also viruses and bacteria produces nagalase to make immune suppression

so i suggest you check cd4/cd8 and nagalase, possibly check also oxidative stress by tests.all available at europeanlaboratory.nl (they have a US branch) or redlabs.com brussells

an efficent immune system can clear Kaposi Sarcoma easily.also check all studies on gcmaf at gcmaf.eu and gcmaf.nl to rebuild your immune system

Yes there are lots of tests. But if you are HIV negative you shouldn't have Kaposi Sarcoma. But for your info some tests are:
Fecal occult blood
Skin biopsy
immuomarkers LNA-1
then there are MRI and other scans if you had progressive disease which don't fit for you. Probably you can go to a dermatologist or maybe a GP and have them do a skin biopsy it would be the most accurate.
However, since you are HIV negative I don't know why you would want to do this? Have you been tested at 3 months yet?
