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

Thyroidectomy / symptoms query
Hi everyone, It's been just over 3 years since I've been diagnosed with Graves Disease. After my first taper down of Carbimazole it wasn't long after dropping to 5mg EOD that I relapsed. My endocrinologist in the NHS said now it's happened once it's pretty much guaranteed it would happen again and again

Testing & Questions for Liver specialists
I go in again tomorrow after 7 months of not knowing if if I have cirrhosis or not to see the hepatologist/liver specialist. The mri with elastography findings did say One side of my liver has a stiffness of 10.7 which is consistent with f4/cirrhosis but the specialist hasn’t mentioned it. I have that

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

Thread veins
Hi My dad has stage 4 cirrhosis (ARLD) and despite the diagnosis is continuing to drink. We have had come to accept he wants to carry on drinking so basically are now on 'emergency symptoms' watch in case he needs A&E. In the last week he has developed thread veins on his torso, back and face. Is this
