Hi guys! My husband was looking around for information and he found about this, we were wondering if this is a common treatment? Thank you very much!

Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?
I responded to someone’s question earlier about the need for liver transplants in the future. While looking at some videos online, I came across this one entitled “Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?”. I felt this video story which was put up recently (Feb 21) was just too good a story to warrant

Parathyroid Adenoma
Does anyone here have any experience with this? During an ultrasound of my thyroid an incidental finding of a small lesion was found which the doc says suggests parathyroid adenoma. My calcium levels were slightly low and then normal on my recent bloods.

Cirrhosis
Hi to all, I'm new here just introducing myself with a bit of background. In April 2021 I ended up in hospital with sepsis after 4 courses of antibiotics failed to cure a UTI. It turned out that I have several kidney stones and a PUJ blockage, a nephrostomy was performed on the left kidney to relieve

Introduction of myself, PMF, from China
Hi, I'm Qi, from China, I'm 34 years old this year. I confirmed PMF in 2017. At that time, the splenomegaly was high, but it was not very high, and it was not so high all the time. These symptoms began to happen to me one after another as early as 2013. JAK2V617F gene mutation, there is only one mutation

Dialysis @ 80 years old after kidney removal...
My 80 year old Dad has cancer in the tube between his kidney and bladder. It was discovered in December, but had likely been there for a little while. At the moment it's not spread and he's in decent shape. Remarkably a week last Friday he was given the opportunity of an operation for this coming Wednesday

Hypo with worsening cholesterol and kidney function
Hi, 1month on levo so far at 25mcg and think I will need an increase at my next NHS review. My cholesterol and kidney function results are heading in the wrong direction, despite doing exercise and eating healthier with plenty of water. Has anyone had success improving these while hypo and without statins
