Heart failure. Kidney bloods
Ok I have had heart failure, cardiomyopthy, low blood pressure and low blood sugars for three years now after a heart attack... I am aged 60 I have regular 3 monthly blood tests due to heart meds. Each time my kidney function reduces - yet GP has not sent me for a scan or called it Kidney disease.

Has anyone had a Jak2 Blood Test for blood disorders?
Hi I've had high Platelets for years about 20 at least on every blood test. GP always just said your Platelets are high but we know that! rheumy often mentioned it too. Recently I have been seen in Endocrinology (in a different hospital to my rheumatology team) & been having regular blood tests since

What's happening?
Trying Thyroid s for the last few weeks. Started off at half a tablet a day for about 2 weeks and then increased to 1 tablet a day. New blood test have shown liver doesn't seem to like it. Alanine transaminase 75 (range 0-34). Alkaline phosphatase 159 (range 30-130). TSH now 0.08 was 3.71, free T3 4.9

High dose Pred side effects
Hi I’m afraid I need some advice again please. Having been diagnosed with PMR over 2 years ago, I was down to 4mg Pred although looking back I was in a lot of pain around the neck, shoulders and upper arms. I just put up with it as I wanted to get off meds. Anyway then I became aware of scalp tenderness

Is this subclinical hyperthyroidism?
I recently had a blood test which showed that my TSH was 0.27mU/L (0.35.5.5) and T4 was 11.3pmol (10-20). I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor, but does this show that there's potentially an issue with my thyroid? This is all new to me so I would appreciate some help, thank you.

Hypocellular bone marrow. Can anyone tell me more?
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency ("low serum B12") over 15 years ago when debilitating exhaustion was putting my job at risk. Doctors assumed diet related because I was usually vegan at home but still ate meat and fish two or three times a week. I am diary intolerant with eczema (but crave custard

Should I stop Ferrous Fumarate before Blood Test?
Hi, I was prescribed Ferrous Fumarate after my last bloods showed very low in ferritin levels (I'm Hashi's). I'm due my follow up routine blood test for thyroid levels and ferritin / iron next week. Do I need to stop taking the Ferrous Fumarate ahead of the blood test? Thanks so much

Macrocytic Anemia?
Hi, I am posting here for my Mom. She had blood work every year with perfect results until last year in September when the Hemoglobin/RBC/Hemocrit started dropping. She never had anemia before. In March of this year MCV and MCH started going up and be higher then normal. I took her to a hematologist

Low Red Blood Cell count and GFR kidney count blamed on PMR. Is this true?
I have just had some blood test results. There are several results which need looking at but someone has added "Normal for this patient". When I have asked before PMR or Pred have been blamed. I took your advice once over breathlessness for example and the GP did further tests. Now the Red Blood
