Kidney biopsy for elevated creatinine
My 68 yr old husband had a kidney transplant 7 weeks ago. We are at the hospital now getting a biopsy due to his rising creatinine levels. I have been so worried that his body is rejecting the new kidney, but after reading these informative posts, I am hopeful and less nervous.

The answer of my right Kidney Tumor
The PAD has arrived and it shows radical operated clear cell renal cancer pT1a. Negative margin. In a small area at the site of previous biopsy, tumor cells are noted which may be indicative of involvement of perirenal fat associated with biopsy. Please can some body explain this ..........! I appreciate

I wanted to ask if anyone else with a current or past lupus nephritis diagnosis has been approached by the University of Cambridge to take part in a study for improving kidney disease outcomes? I received a letter and wanted to make sure it was legit before

Terrified
As per my previous post I’ve recently had lots of blood tests due to being tired all the time. I rang to see if the results were in and have been told the GP has referred me to Cardiologist for an echocardiogram. I hope to speak to GP in the morning subject to getting a telephone consultation.

NT-proBNP Level query
Trying to line up a few questions for a Cardio call in December and cannot seem to find this bit out. My last Se N-term pro BNP conc result was 444 ng/L, is this the same as pg/mL? It came back as abnormal with normal given as 0-400, I`m 66, so could I have Heart failure as no one has said I have.

Found this in Waitrose (Bit pricey!) Lovely creamy Oat Kefir. Dairy, soya and gluten free... Edit ** Found a recipe they use milk grains**
£3!! and rather annoyingly really nice... heck I'm worth it! I only went in for a sneaky sushi treat 😏 Edit... actually cheaper in Waitrose as they sell the 500g where as the other only sell 250g £1.85 Oat Base (Water, Gluten-Free Oats (11%), Sunflower Oil, Salt), Coconut Cream, Stabilisers (Tapioca

GLEASON EIGHT.
If you have seen the Gleason images on Wikipedia, it is clearly obviously the drastic difference in the cell invasion between a three and gour.. That said, it seems futile to remove the prostate instead of radiation and brachytherapy.. If the Gleason eight is on the vesicles seems to me it is almost

Normal uptake areas in PSMA Gallium scan
My husband got the results, online, of a PSMA scan he had last week. We talk to his doctor tomorrow. The person who read it said the prostate was surgically removed, when it was actually radiated, so we don’t have total faith in this report. In the opening of the findings it says: “Physiologic radiotracer
