How bad is it?
Does anyone understand BNP levels mine is 2963ng/L I think normal is between 0.0. 150. I think it indicates heart failure but not sure. Before I can have echocardiogram privately I need referral from GP who would you believe it is off sick!!

Terrified
As per my previous post I’ve recently had lots of blood tests due to being tired all the time. I rang to see if the results were in and have been told the GP has referred me to Cardiologist for an echocardiogram. I hope to speak to GP in the morning subject to getting a telephone consultation. I have

Conflict between urine microalbumin and creatinine levels
I am a 52 yrs old man, an engineer from Sudan. I am on Crestor 10mg since 2007 with controlled lipid profile except HDL around 40mg/dl, also on Telmisartan 40mg since 2010 which reduced urine microalbumin from 50 to 26 mcg/l. I am a neither diabetic nor hypertensive. Recently my PB dropped down to 60

Pace and Ablate - Symptoms of Heart Failure after pacemaker and AV node ablation

Update
Spoken to GP at length this morning regarding this awful fatigue I am suffering from, and how awful I’ve felt since starting Amlodipine. He agreed reluctantly that as I’ve been slightly better since stopping Amlodipine a week ago he would remove it from my prescription, but has increased Cozar (Losartan

Mixed feelings following first GP appointment since PMR diagnosis
The blood tests were contradictory, suggesting it was a blood clot in the lung and showed
renal
failure
, I had a blood thinning injection, also had chest xrays , then moved to Acute Emergency Care. Yesterday I had a CT scan (with dye).

Does anyone else feel kinda gobbled up by dialysis? I feel like it ate my life.
In all the adjustments I've had to make dealing with
renal
failure
- I kind of lost myself. I used to be very social but time restraints make it hard to get out and see people. I hardly ever even go into the office since I started HD.

To use Procrit or not? 86 with end stage renal failure
My Uncle is 86 and has end stage
renal
failure
. He does not want dialysis. His Dr wants him to start Procrit to help with the anemia. The side effects are daunting and he does not want to take it. Anyone have experience with Procrit?
