Why is my Allosure number 2.4 but creatinine 1.4 and biopsy shows no rejection?
Hi. I am one year out, 99% HLAs. It's been a rodeo ride this last year because of my antibodies. This last year I have had 4 Allosure tests and underwent plasmapheresis and Rituxan treatments. The last Allosure shows 2.4 which is a pretty high rejection number. My creatinine has been consistent

Struggling with depression
Hi, I was reccomended this site by a social worker. I'm hoping maybe to find support on here. I'm a 21 year old female, and I've struggled with anxiety pretty much my entire life.

Vestibular problems
Hi everyone! Been a long time since I’ve posted. Interesting day today. Saw neuro ophthalmologist today. I have all types of nystagmus. Says it’s probably peripheral vestibular malfunction and maybe something wrong with my ear canals/bones. Wants brain MRI and possible CT angio since I have a small brain

Hughes Syndrome - December 2019
Hughes Syndrome - December 2019 December 6 saw a second London Bridge terrorist attack, the first in Borough Market, the second on the other end of the bridge – both within a couple of hundred yards of our hospital, both with slashing knives. It is poignant to reflect on the long and colourful history
