Hello, I received kybella and I had a unknown auto immune disorder. It's been a year and my body still hasn't recovered.
Answer: Kybella and autoimmune disease? Thank you for your question. Due to possible difficulties with healing after administration it is best that patients with autoimmune disease not receive Kybella. Depending on what your symptoms may be I would recommend seeing your general medicine doctor for an evaluation. They can refer you to the specialist best trained to help obtain symptom improvement. Best wishes.

Answer: Kybella and The Immmune System Kybella should have absolutely zero effect on the immune system. This enzyme is naturally produced in the body already and is a substance that we have internally. It also only works locally, so it is not absorbed systemically. Your immune status was coincidental and should be worked up by a rhumatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Effects if Kybella In general, autoimmune disorders can affect how well a person heals from a procedure ( the disorder, or the medications used to treat the autoimmune disorder, may slow down the healing process). Kybella consists of deoxycholic acid, which acts locally ( where it is placed) to destroy fat cells. It would not be expected to have a distant or long lasting effect outside of its local one. Deoxycholic acid is present in our bodies naturally- it is one of the secondary bile acids, which are metabolic byproducts of your intestinal bacteria. The two primary bile acids secreted by the liver are cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid. Bacteria metabolize chenodeoxycholic acid into the secondary bile acid lithocholic acid, and they metabolize cholic acid into deoxycholic acid. So, the chemical substance itself is not foreign to the body. Whatever symptoms you are having would need to be evaluated by your doctors as potentially the result of the underlying autoimmune disorder, or something else.Best,Lisa Vuich, MD
