GRF Level
I was on the Davita.com site and punched in my creatinine level of 1.0 and it gave me a GFR of 66, but yet by blood work shows 59. How can it be that different, does anyone know? Thanks

Chronic kidney disease & haven't been told
Hello all I had my recent clinic appointment and it hasn't been great. I had an ultrasound which showed coarse echo texture and slight irregular liver transplant. Also they've found a small lesion. I will be having a CT scan in April I think. What surprised me is that the letter they sent to GP had '

Shortness of breathe
I am a fit slim 70 year old female experiencing shortness of breath, tightening in my chest with exercise. I've had a ECG test which was normal and a blood test to test for heart failure. Also had a chest xray which is normal and blown a peak flow test which had indicated a normal reading?

Afib and congestive heart failure
Hello - I write about my mother who is 90 yrs. old with afib and recently diagnosed with chf. She was on 10 mgs. of Lasix 2 x a day, but her edema and congestion in her lungs increased and she was very short of breath - especially at night and she had to sit in her recliner to get her breath back.

Sepsis. Update on "Drama"
Thanks to all who replied to my Drama post. Just a quick update. Still in hospital while they grow cultures to find the type of sepsis. Meanwhile they are trying broad spectrum antibiotics until they identify a specific one. More worrying from my point of view, ( but they laugh at me and call me Dr)

Never thought I could get anxiety
So, I just found this site doing some homework on why my heart seems to race and flutter constantly. I've been dealing with anxiety over the course of probably 3 months now. I was the kind of guy that always thought I would never deal with anxiety, depression, etc. Been healthy all my life and lucky.

ANA positive years ago
I think I might have asked this somewhere b4 but I can't remember where or what answer I got and I haven't the strength to search back through... When I was first diagnosed with ITP 12 years ago, long b4 any of my symptoms started, the doctors tested my ANA the old way. The result was 15 iu/ml. I know

Bisoprolol and anxiety.
Hi All My first post but have been reading with interest for a while. My husband had AF about two years ago ( possibly a degree of heart failure as well as oedematous and breathless). Corrected with cardio version. Unfortunately has gone back into AF and prescribed Bisoprolol 5mg to slow heart rate.
