Kidney function and hypothyroidism?
My hypothyroidism was finally acknowledged six weeks ago. I've been on 50mcg daily. I've just had the first blood test since starting treatment. My fT4 has 'risen' from 8.8% to 9.3%. My TSH has dropped below 1 (0.7) for the first time according to blood tests going back to 2007. I'm a bit disappointed

I still have some hurdles to overcome but great news. On Monday of this week I had labs drawn, clinic (see the PA or Dr) to discuss. Then I also had a Bone Marrow draw ( biopsy). Wednesday more labs, clinic. Most numbers have been entering normal range except platelets and Red bloods cells ( normally

UTI experiences,what are they? Appetite lost?
My spouse received his kidney transplant 5.5 years ago and this week has his first UTI infection and is on "Cipro" antibiotic 5 days with a refill if needed. About 2 days prior he lost his appetite and foods tasted "off". He is diabetic on insulin before every meal and at night before bed too. Curious

More Questions about Post Transplant Life
I again appreciate all the replies to my post. Some of you took the time to write detailed responses. I have a question concerning taking trips, especially by plane. I probably would only take a plane to visit my nephews, who live 600 miles away. The plane is with a regional airline and is narrow

Zanu treatment
Hey y’all, Almost 3 weeks of Zanu. Bloodwork is “as expected “ for first line treatment, WBC 220 and Hemo 9. Feeling pretty good, most lymph node pain gone, more energy! Still have manageable side effects, diarrhea, nausea. Feeling really good about this treatment! Have a great day🤗

No Success with Renadyl for me....
Hello: Just wanted to post my experience with taking Renadyl. First, my Nephrologist never recommended it and I wondered why? Of course, if this did work for me, he couldn't recommend dialysis or a transplant and make money from it. A Renal Dietitian did recommend it. I tried Renadyl for six months but

The dilemma of hypoalbuminemia
Hello everyone, I have a history of MPN for many years, I have noticed that my liver protein, total protein, albumin, and prealbumin levels are all frighteningly low in routine medical examinations. I even suspect that my C-reactive protein levels are low even when I am in an inflammatory state. Low

Shocking story about women dying of CRF/ME
Did anyone read about the women who died from CFS/ME? https://news.sky.com/story/woman-with-me-died-after-begging-gp-for-help-inquest-told-13183530 Why didn't anyone try B12 and see if it could help her? If you look online there is masses of information about how B12 can help CFS/ME. For example

Renal Diet Confusion
Hello, apologies if this may be repetitive in the Group but I'm now about 3 months into my renal limited vasculitis diagnosis and one of the areas I find mind boggling is that of proper dieting. There is no shortage of information out there but a lot of it seems to
conflict.
Would be grateful

Deciding on dialysis vs. deceased kidney transplant at 76 years old
I will attain 76 years in August, 2024. I have been on hemodialysis since early May 2024. At one point I was eligible for only a living kidney. Now it looks like the transplant center will approve my placement on an urgent protocol so I can wait 3 years for a deceased kidney. I could live 10years

Is iron spray any good for night-time dosing?
Has anyone any experience with using iron supplement in spray format? Presumably you’d need a few squirts but better tolerated? Contains iron in the form ferric sodium edtate & ferric ammonium citrate.

One year, one month post transplant
Hello. I post sometimes but apparently have not “officially” introduced myself. I received a deceased donor kidney transplant on June 11, 2023. I was incredibly lucky. I begged my family and friends to donate to me, but they all refused except one friend who got tested and his function was not good enough

Worse after an UTI and Covid
Good afternoon. About five weeks ago I developed an UTI for which I took three separate courses of antibiotics as it wouldn't clear. In the same period I contracted Covid which didn't affect me much. I only found out that I had it because a friend who I'd spent time with had done a Covid test and it
