Once again I am asking for any information that can be provided from this great group. Would appreciate any information for Jevtana treatment. At doctor's appt yesterday, my husband's hemoglobin had decreased to 7.6 and he had to have a blood transfusion. His Alkaline Phosphatase went up again.

Well aware that statins are continuing to be controversial and many members have at least had them suggested, even pushed to take them. I thought this Specialist Pharmacy Service guidance just might be relevant to some here. In summary, if you have any unexplained elevated results from a liver

I'm 3 weeks into a clinical trial for ARV-766, an AR degrader. At 2 weeks, my PSA had dropped from 133 to 66! Bone pain is much less. All my liver numbers are fine, but alkaline phosphatase has gone from 199 when I started to 429 at two weeks and 519 at three weeks. Doc thinks may just be a surge, but

The words this week I want to define are alkaline phosphatase. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that is released by the bile ducts cells ( among other organs). The release of ALP is a marker of stress or injury. So the more injury or stress to the bile duct cells, the higher

Hi looking for advice. I am currently waiting on confirmed diagnosis of anca vasculitis but based on my symptoms and anti-mpo test it looks like I have it. I am on prednisolone but also rivaroxiban as I had a pulmonary embolism recently. I have had a bad reaction to iron infusion that caused calcium

I have been looking at my Metabolic Panel blood test results over the last couple years and two results stood out in a way that I would prefer them to sit down. I was wondering whether either of these results might have something to do with PV or MPN's. The first is Alkaline Phosphatase. That rose from

Hello, Just wanted to ask if I am entitled to request the ELF test from my GP?
