Heart problems and facial redness
(I have permenant AF, Heart
failure
, DCM, diabetes, tend towards liver and
kidney
failure
, but overall am reasonably well and enjoy life. ) Does anyone 1. Connect the redness with their heart condition, and if so, 2. What physical changes causes that Rosie glow?

Holter test delay
I have AF and heart failure. I am been treated by medication. I had a bad turn where my heart rate went down to 43. I contacted my cardiac nurse who halved the dose of Bisoprolol. He organised a holter monitor. That was the 7 of February still not had an appointment to be fitted. My nurse will not increase

Chemo may be helping
Hi Fellow Fighters, Prior to my third round of Taxotere last Friday, I had blood work done. After 2 rounds, my PSA dropped 4.7 points. TBH, I feel like crap today, but the results are promising. My blood work also showed low cortisol levels, how concerned should I be about that? Thanks.

rosuvastatin 5mg and kidney damage
Hi everyone My doctor has put me on Rosuvastatin for my cholesterol which was 5.7. M kidney function has dropped from 57 to 49 in just a few weeks. I have just read that this statin has an increased risk of kidney damage. I have now stopped taking it. We put our faith in our doctors but I really wonder

Yellow patches on eyelids
Hi I developed yellow patches on my eyelids and under my eyes pre-transplant. Read it can be a sign of poor liver function so that makes sense, however it has got slightly worse post transplant. My liver function is excellent and cholesterol is low so I’m not sure what is causing it and my consultant

GFR drop 62 to 57 does that matter?
hi. I'm back with question. Reminder: i had declining GFR to 40s that began to go back up to 60 than 62. Latest it dropped to 57. Not very significant but it is back below 60. Should I be concerned or is it so close to 60 it doesn't matter?? is it likely to continue to drop? Or its wait and see i guess

Thanks to you all
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who replied to my previous post about my partner being diagnosed with emphysema. I spoke to a wonderful specialist nurse called Liz over the phone yesterday who reaffirmed a lot of what had been said. We spoke to his GP over the phone this morning and

abdominal ultrasound scan results received
hi everyone, I understand this post is outside of all thing colon and bowel related. However, I’ve been asked to let proole know about my results. Plus, there doesn’t seem to be a hub for abdominal, renal and other related issues. I finally had my scan on 27th April. The results haven’t appeared on

Intrinsic factor antibody result
Hi all, I've only just seen the result of an Intrinsic Factor Antibody test that was done in December before I started SI which I don't know how to interpret. I got a result of 2 u/ml (reference range is 0-24 u/ml). Is that a positive or a negative result? Does that confirm PA or not? Can someone explain

Proteinuria
Otherwise, you may live long before reaching the final stage of
kidney
failure
. And I don't know if proteinuria can be kept under control once it starts.

COMORBIDITY
I was diagnosed with
kidney
failure
due to sickle cell complications. They tried saving my
kidney
with medications and diet but it eventually failed. I had to go in dialysis and I’ve been on Automated Peritoneal Dialysis for 5 months now and in the waiting list for a kidney donor.
