Question on eGFR Calculation
I have had
CKD
several years and have progressed to an eGFR of 17-22. I'm wondering, does that mean EACH kidney is functioning at about 17-22 function or is it divided and one kidney is working at 11% and the second kidney is working at 11% for a total of 22?

GP’s and meds (Losartan and Lercanadipine) !!
I despair! the surgery advised me on Monday that they thought the Losartan was causing a decrease in my sodium level (127). They suggested I try Lercanadipine instead. I took the first one this morning and my pulse rate went mad all morning and my BP dropped quite a bit. I contacted the surgery &

Effect of exercise on thyroid blood tests?
Just wondering,what effect have people noticed on their blood tests if exercising the day before/same day/other time? SlowDragon has previously shared that the ideal time for thyroid blood tests is just before 9am, and I'm wondering if exercising should also be taken into account? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Low blood pressure
I have GCA with Takayasu Arteritis. I am taking Clopidogrel/ Atorvastatin/ Bisoprolol/ Tocilizumab (3 monthly), yesterday my blood pressure was 92/80. It was taken at the hospital as the doctor’s surgery can’t find it, or my pulse. I emailed my Dr with the result, and she rang me today. I told her I

I often wonder how much simple actions are under rated and by how many in our highly accessible procedure/drug world.
Are you doing some basics to strengthen your heart beat (check with your medic first)? Eg. Daily brisk walks for 1 mile+ Light weight training with dumbbells Nose breathing (day & night) to increase nitric oxide to heart Co Q10 supplement Works for me with no known side effects! 😁

Anyone ever regurgitate something you ate the day before?
I get burning throughout my whole GI, shortness of breath, loose stool, regurgitation and a whole bunch of other symptoms irresponsive to medication. Sometimes I can regurgitate something like a bit of carrot or mushroom a full day after I've had it. I had a teaspoon of seeds yesterday, 16hours late

I just spoke with my doctors nurse and it shows you can always learn new things and you can also mess things up. Lol. I hadn’t mentioned much about being a little bit nervous regarding my new pacemaker. The past two days my heart rate has been up. I am set for 80. I have noticed, and I know that my

Hi Everyone, I’m a newbie
I’m female mid seventies and have angina and a GT spray. I get severe chest pains but only when resting. I was to have day surgery a few weeks ago to remove an anal polyp which might be cancerous but despite having a thorough pre op assessment, the anaesthetist said I could not be treated unless a bed

Vitamin D - daily dose?
when I was first diagnosed with PBC my Vit D levels were low so had a high dose supplement which brought levels up to normal range. Bone density scan was OK. With general vitamin supplement and cod liver oil in winter months I take 10 microg of Vit D. I would be interested to hear how much anyone else

Lupus Anticoagulant testing while on Warfarin
I have searched the group but I do not seem to find what I need to know. If your hematologist insist on testing for Lupus Anticoagulant how many days must you stop warfarin before the test? The hematologist says that the DVRTT test works without stopping Warfarin. But I have read many times that while

Atrial Tachycardia ablation coming up
I’m going in once again for another ablation. The 3rd one finally finished off the afib. But they couldn’t trigger the atrial tachycardia. Since it’s become even more frequent since the last ablation, I decided to give it another go. Dreading it even more than normal since our local hospital has stopped

Have your say on expanding medication options for CKD
Hi All, If anyone was adversely affected by the FDA's shock decision to reject Tenapanor as a treatment option for hyperphosphatemia, please use the link below to send your comments to the advisory committee that will be reviewing Tenapanor on November 16th. A lot of patients can't take phosphate

PV and silent afib
Previously, no issues with my heart and prior to December 2022 all ok with all tests; no artery disease or stenosis and healthy heart. Out of nowhere, I had my first AFIB episode in December of last year. Restored to NSR in 30 minutes with medication. I have had 2 more, once during a stress test

Third ablation, beta blocker change or something else?
Afternoon all, Looking for a bit of advice, I had my first ablation which was a 5 hour operation Feb 7th 2019! Had to shock me 6 times as well as do the ablation! Eventually put me onto flecainide which kept it in rhythm. I came off flecainide in May 2019, and was ok until July when AFib returned.

Thankyou - re: lidocaine and bisoprolol.
I just wanted to thank you all for your thoughts and advice on an alternative to local anaesthetic Lidocaine for a non dental minor surgery. It seems that nobody has quite had exactly the same reaction as I had with bradycardia and plummeting BP or had a local anaesthetic, apart from lidocaine, for
