Posterior subcapsular cataracts surgery
I am 2 years post kidney transplant due to PKD. I went to a routine eye exam yesterday and after a retinal scan was told I need to have cataract surgery, sooner rather than later, as this type of cataract progresses quickly. Anyone have this issue? Any pre/post eye surgery precautions related to

UTI/AF
Since having a kidney transplant I am bothered with UTI's which quickly clears up after taking antibiotics. I also have a PAF episode more or less within a day or two of this. Has anyone else noticed having AF when also having an infection? My potassium and magnesium levels are lower than normal when

elevated lft query possible outcome
hi again I recently posted that my blood test showed ALT 50 and ALP 177. My GP is repeating tests. I’ve been reading a lot about the progression of liver disease from fatty liver onwards. I have read that all types of scans can detect fatty liver and other problems. In 2019 I had a CT scan for

Hi, I had mildly elevated ALT in January so stopped drinking alcohol. It lowered but then went up to 100 with raised AST also. Gradually both went down to normal and Nils blood test and ultrasound were normal. However, ALT has gone back up to 72 and ALT 64. My GP is stumped. Has anyone experienced

Sauna post-kidney transpant
My kidney transplant was almost 2 years ago. All is doing well. I have loved my home sauna in the past and would love to resume using it this fall/winter. My transplant doctor suggests that would NOT be a good idea - not because of hydration issues, which could be managed but because the heat of the

Elevated LDH
Hello, I haven’t posted before. My 44-year-old husband was diagnosed 2 years ago. He has been in watch and wait. We just met with his oncologist. His other blood counts are relatively stable, just increasing at a low rate. But his LDH has steadily increased the last 3 tests and is elevated. His oncologist

Metastic clear cell...
Hi, everyone. How are you? I just came back from my clinic appointment and was told news I didn't really want to hear. It spread again to one of lymph nodes near right kidney. That made sense why I had a pain there. I was on single dose of celarsertib for a few years. Now it's discontinued. My consultant

Life Insurance
Hi, I have been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. I'm 54 (f) and live with my 25 year old son (divorced). I've just realised I don't have life insurance (I know!), and wanted to ask if anyone has experience of decent companies who won't rip me off. I'm worried sick about leaving my son with extra
