Skin Lesion
Hi there I’ve had a skin lesion since Xmas. I tried all sorts of creams and even antibiotics and nothing has shifted it. It does feel a bit tender but my main concern is that it itches. Long story short; saw my GP who in end referred me two Wk wait. I had photos done and then called in for biopsy

Treating leukocytosis in PV
I was diagnosed with PV in 2015 and I am JAK2 positive. I've been on Jakafi for about six months, and my current dosage of 10 mg/day seems to be doing a good job of controlling my HCT, HGB, and PLT numbers. However, my WBC numbers are consistently high, running at 19-20 K/uL. I understand that the literature

weight gain
I’m wondering if anyone else having had a kidney transplant is dealing with a large amount of weight gain. If so how are you dealing with it?

Travel insurance to cover Endometriosis when waiting for surgery
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a travel insurance provider that would cover me for Endometriosis and Hydronephrosis (due to Endometriosis). I am struggling to find anyone to insure me because I am on a waiting list for a laproscopy and i need my kidney stent changing in June.

High albumin?
What could cause slightly high albumin in blood? Just had some blood tests done and this was the only thing out of range. When I Google it, I only find dehydration as a possible cause. I drink a ton of water so this seems very unlikely to me. My past levels have always been within range. The doctor didn

Heart failure
I had a P and A in 2021 to stabilise my fast heart rate in Permanent AF. Although still in AF, I thought that was my heart sorted. Last year I had pneumonia and then at Christmas another chest infection, that has taken until now to sort out. As I am still breathless and very fatigued, I had a chest

UPJ Obstruction
Does anyone have experience with have a UPJ obstruction that is effecting their kidney function? Recently diagnosed with having one. This was discovered after some testing as a result of a low GFR score. It is all very confusing so trying to find someone with a similar experience.

This back of mine is misbehaving
So I have been dealing with this back pain for a solid year now. The doctor had thought all along that it was my SI joint, but it has really escalated in pain level the past 8 days or so. Plus the pain is so intense and comes in waves, it makes me vomit. I saw him today on an unscheduled appointment.

Protein intake after kidney transplant.
I am a 71 year old man almost 16 months out from a cadaveric renal transplant and doing well. I have been exercising for over 10 years, I currently do 30 minutes of calisthenics three times a week and walk on a treadmill for an hour 7 days a week. I read that protein intake is important for seniors
