Creatine
I am on Ursofalk and very well fortunately. I take Bezafibrate for itch (life saver). I have embark on a fitness journey of Crossfit and after 12 months wish to improve even more. I am advised by my coach to take Creatine and that this is natural and improves performance and muscle recovery. Anyone

FDA alert re: denosumab
This was issued specifically re: Prolia, with no mention of Xgeva. However patients should be alerted, and of course don't change your medications without first speaking to your doctor about this. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-adds-boxed-warning-increased-risk-severe-hypocalcemia-patients-advanced-chronic-kidney-disease

Right phrenic nerve paralysis
Path from RP showed extensive perineural involvement. No other risk factors for phrenic nerve paralysis. Haven't talked to MO yet, but sure concerned it's tumor invasion. PSA still <0.04.

Luteolin, ellagic acid and punicic acid and prostate cancer metastasis
Ok here we go again, excuse me if this was already gone over. I know Pomegranate has stated benefits, but in combo with these other supps may increase the benefits according to this study done on patients and our favored friends, the mice- lol. For me if it can't harm and may help then why not.

Is this a normal side effect of dialysis please and if so is there any treatment. We went to our GP but he was useless and unable

Increased Creatinine -
I have a kidney transplant since 2009. I have had 4 ablations on my heart for afib since 2019. It has affected my creatinine adversely at times. I just changed from Flecanide to Propafenone for afib, & we are hoping this will lower my creatinine, which has slowly been increasing since starting the Flecanide

Any Data or MO Advice Regarding Dutasteride / Finasteride At Very Early Biochemical Recurrence?
Does anyone know of any studies or MO advice they've gotten regarding use of Dutasteride or Finasteride at very early signs of Biochemical Reccurrence (uPSA in the 0.03 - 0.1 range) prior to Salvage Radiotherapy? It's obviously going to slow PSA doubling time and thereby probably lengthen the time

Hi everyone and Happy New Year
my name is Jill and it’s been along while since I’ve posted anything. I was diagnosed in 1999. Aged 39. Despite being very unwell for months and being ‘fobbed ’ off by my Gp. By the time I was diagnosed I had Saddle Nose deformity. Like alot of you even as a nurse I was very scared and felt alone

7 years plus
I was a junior high Science teacher... in 2015 my PKD became so profound that I had to quit teaching and have HD 3 times a week for 4 hours a session. The second time I had dialysis I was infiltrated severely... and wound up in hospital.. I have had a bilateral Nephrectomy and my kidneys were football

All kidney tests normal EXCEPT albumin/ creatinine ratio
hi. Haven't posted in while. My duff went up from 40 to 70!! But now test just came back that my albumin/creatinine ratio is slightly above normal. Should I be concerned?
