Sanjay Gupta and anticoagulants
I just watched Sanjay Gupta's YouTube video on anticoagulants. He said it is not the Afib but the company it keeps that is responsible for a stroke therefore anticoagulation is only advised if you have other factors i.e high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure etc. If that is the case why are all

Hereditary kidney disease
Slow progression but leads to
kidney
failure
. MUC1 is considered rare but probably many people have it who don’t know it. If you think you may have it we have a fb group founded by the head nephrologist at Wake forest NC - he’s looking for a cure and the more patients we identify the better.

Anyone’s gfr from their labs differ from gfr calculators?
My labs show a different gfr than what the calculators show. Is it bc there’s other blood related factors that get equated? Bc my creatinine has remained at 1.10 and bun 20 for over 10 years but over the years my blood labs show my gfr going from 96-70 in about 10 years. Note I didn’t get labs done

ACR results
So I'm so confused lol I phoned the gp who's receptionist told me my urine microalbumin level was 3 and satisfactory. I went and got a print out and infact my microalbumin was <3 mg/l which I'm gathering is good. My urine creatinine was 3.5mmol/L but there were no ranges so I'm not sure if that's good

How long to wait for a tracheotomy
Hello. So my brother has been weaned off sedation abit. However he has been becoming distressed- not surprising as he has a tube down his throat and the nurses have told him where he is. He is still not fully unsedated - his partner is struggling as she showed him a picture of their daughter but he was

Decompensated cirrhosis and kidney failure
Mom (age 72) was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis with refractory ascites and HE. Soon after creatinine jumped to 7 and her kidney failed. Afterwards, she was on CAPD + rosavel, rifagut & weekly albumin. Also salt intake. Survived 28 months and left us due to heart attack and infection. Doctor

Tacrolimus Supply Problem?
Dear All, I have been 'on' Tacrolimus since my Kidney Transplant, way back, in July 2013. Recently however my regular Chemist- Rowlands- has had Trouble/ a Problem 'getting' this- however, it appears that NO-ONE else has! My Doctor's has been Great, about this, and has written the Prescription for this

UTI and E.Coli
I’ve been ill for 12 weeks so been off my methotrexate. I’ve had 4 loads of blood tests done and 3 urine infections where I was really ill. Vomiting, fever, nausea, chronic fatigue, I’ve lost 10kilos! Turns out I had a kidney infection and it was resistant to the antibiotics the GP prescribed. I spoke

Besremi versus Pegasys
This question was raised by Flynn2107 months ago. I looked into it and replied there but it seems worth a new post with the recent FDA approval. PEG and Ropeg (Besremi) use polyethylene glycol (PEG) to control the release of the INF molecule. The earliest INFs had less of a control element and more
