Born with one functioning kidney, I'm a 58 year old male. In January my gfr was down to 38 and creat up to 1.86. So my PCP referred me to a nephrologist for the first time. Since January, I've educated myself on how much sodium I was consuming without realizing it. So now my blood test results last

My daily drugs & drugish regimen
Metformin - 1,000mg time release - started this for pre-diabetes, it didn't seem to keep cancer from recurring OR maybe it kept the cancer from coming back worse - Metformin in cancer prevention and therapy Fenbendazole - 3x4gm weekly - Fenbendazole acts as a moderate microtubule destabilizing agent

Sudden drop in EGFR of 5 pts in 1 month no reason! Down to 38 from 43. Help!
Sudden ckd stage 3b egfr dropped drastically in past year, now in 1 month went from egfr of 43 to 38 creatinine 1.79 to 2.01. At the egfr 43 I took drastic measures tracking everything I ate and drank ( phosphorous, potassium, protein, calcium, etc) to guidelines for my stage, stuck with very low sodium

High blood pressure...would appreciate input!
I just had my third GP appointment in less than three weeks. I've had high blood pressure for years. It was first discovered back in 2000 when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I was then told it would normalise once my TSH normalised on levothyroxine. However, it never fully has so, back in 2013, I

Blood test results for my Mom. Please may I ask for help reviewing them given her suspected heart attack some weeks back. Thankyou.
May I ask the expertly knowledgeable folk on this site to please assess my mothers recent blood tests results - post a suspected heart attack. We are in a very difficult situation. Our GP practice is deteriorating at a rate of knots! They are drastically short of doctors. The practice has quietly amalgamated

Checkup w/low WBC & Bladder infection
My Oncologists's Assistant saw me today due to a family emergency with my doctor. The Assistant was very nice this time, thank goodness! She was concerned about my bloodwork. Turns out I have a raging bladder infection, my WBC is down to 1, my magnesium and sodium levels are very low and I'm dehydrated

Heat and Blood Pressure
Many of us struggle with the heat tending to feel lethargic and washed out! One problem is that heat causes the blood vessels to expand and combined with your medication you may experience a degree of hypotension. Perspiration can make this worse if you start getting dehydrated. The key is to stay well

Omeprazole and Imodium... Thoughts?
Potentially unrelated - a couple of days ago I found myself needing to take two
Imodium
as lack of access to a toilet whilst out in nature was making me anxious. I used to regularly take

in this way without incident but have mostly got out of the habit.
