ION Profile in Patient with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

Very High Quinolinate & Picolinate Signal Strong Activation of The Kynurenine Pathway; Secondary to Cell-Mediated Immune Activation. Over-Stimulation of The Kynurenine Pathway Can Diminish Tryptophan Levels To The Point That T-Cell Responses Are Inhibited; Leading to Poor Prognosis in Leukemia Patients

A 63 year old female with CLL was recommended to undertake an ION^TM Profile by her referring doctor as part of a work-up for a comprehensive nutritional treatment program. Other relevant pathology included: raised liver enzymes; high anion gap; low platelet white cells, neutrophils and lymphocyte counts; all consistent with active CLL. Symptom wise, the main complaints consisted of: fatigue; poor concentration, memory and comprehension; joint pain; weakness; leg cramps; dry skin; poor night vision; itchy eyes and swollen eye lids; blurred vision; bloated & belching; shortness of breath and frequent urination.
