Fatty Liver Question
I amnew here. I recently had a CT with contrast of chest, abdomen and pelvis as follow up to radiation for metastatic prostate cancer. All clear, happily, but one observation by the radiologist concerns me and I am not sure what it fully means. “HEPATOBILIARY: Hepatic steatosis. No focal liver lesion

Hi ive been ill for a while but managed to get out the house today and get blood results. Although GP did request FT3/FT4, they did not do them. I was told that from now on if your TSH is within range they will not check regardless if GP requests it or not. TSH 0.62 Range mu/L 0.27 - 4.20mu/L CHOLESTEROL

7 ketoDHEA?
This was posted on another group and want to share with you for comments. Thanks. “7 ketoDHEA is an adrenal hormone that is available over the counter in the USA. Unlike DHEA, it does not degrade into testosterone and does not normally cause the dangerous side effects of prednisone. In alternative

My Introduction - elevated psa, unconfirmed prostate cancer
Hi, I'm a 57 year old with unconfirmed prostate cancer. My psa has been elevated for 14 years and recently jumped from 6 to 14 in a 6 month time frame. Since it was over 10, I thought it was time for a biopsy. My DRE was negative so I wasn't too surprised when it came back as negative. From what

Lab Results: ACR and Lipids
HDL: 1.04 mmol/L (Normal)
LDL
: 4.09 mmol/L (High) Triglycerides: 4.80 mmol/L (more than twice above normal level) They can't even calculate total cholesterol due to high triglycerides. ACR: 59.2 mg/mmol, Macroalbuminuria, making me high risk of further kidney damage.

Low dose naltrexone
I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience taking LDN. I believe I remember monkeybus taking it a couple years ago, but never heard any results. This is the next thing my doctors want me to trial for neuropathic pain. I've read that it may have some benefits for fatigue, as well, which would be awesome

Impact of nutritional status on the prognosis of patients with metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer
New study from Japan. Interesting to note non-PCa tests that may affect mortality. "The baseline GNRI [Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index] was calculated using serum albumin level and body mass index." There are now countless PCa studies that report an association between high BMI [body mass index] & poorer

Saturated fat is converted into blood cholesterol by the liver.
Now it could be that they're referring to the balance between
LDL
-C and HDL-C, HDL-C being a scavenger lipoprotein that mops up unused cholesterol and returns it to the liver for recycling, and offsets the inflammatory effects of
LDL
-C.

To take or not take Statins?
LDL
-C 161, CT Calcium score 979, passed a stress test, no symptoms. My Cardiologist wants me to take 40mg Lipitor. From my research it seems the benefits of a statin are over stated and the potential problems understated. How can one find out if high choleterol is causing ones athrosclorosis.
