Confused and Concerned
They determined she had pneumonia and was in the end stage of
renal
failure
. She agreed to do a few rounds of dialysis to get some fluid off but wouldn’t do more. The doctors basically told her if she didn’t agree to do more, she would be dead soon.

Finally, My First Dietician Consultation Yesterday!
Was informed by dietician's office that doc needed to add "
renal
failure
" to referral in order for ins. to pay. Yesterday, my visit with diet. would have been well worth every penny of the $330 private pay charge I might have paid.

Fingerprick blood test failure
Tried a to do a fingerprick blood sample this morning for my Thriva blood test. Followed all the instructions to the letter: dinking lots of water at least 30 mins beforehand (woke up bleary eyed in the pitch dark to glug down a pint of water), warming the hand for 3 mins in warm water, massage, arm

Kidney transplant
My husband’s GFR was 15 on his last blood test. The doctor is saying he should go on a transplant list. I heard that the immune suppressant drugs after the surgery are brutal. Those of you who’ve had transplants, (or knew someone who has) what was your/their experience? Thank you in advance ❤️

Rant
Spent 2weeks in hospital end July early August with chest infection . Kept telling doctors my feet /legs were swollen but this was glossed over/ ignored. GP just done Pro BNP blood test which has come back abnormal (1148 ng/l) which I believe is high. He is referring me to Cardiology re heart failure

Antiarrhthmic drugs working great, but scheduled for ablation
Thank you to everyone for this wonderful forum. My husband, 56, started getting more and more out of breath and fatigued in November and December of last year. Finally he went to the ER (we are in the US) on January 2. He was in AF and his heart rate was 180 but they got it down to between 130 and

Chronic cough post-ablation
I had my cryo-ablation In early July. Since that time, I have had an intermittent, hacking cough. Sometimes it starts up in the morning when I wake up, other times it comes on in the middle of the day. I will have these coughing “fits” for several hours at a time. Anyone else experienced this?

Lack of iron
I know that this isn't directly to do with AF however at a recent visit to my aptly named Heart Failure nurse, it was discovered I am anaemic and require iron intravenously at our hospitals RAMU. I'm afraid that I contacted Doctor Google to see what it entailed and have gotten myself all worked up! Has

Dipyridamole & Aspirin combined Vs Apixaban
Hi guys, I suspect this is a bit of a different post to what is normally posted here. My Father has heart failure as well as Prostate Cancer. When he was diagnosed with AF he was taken off Aspirin and placed on Apixaban. However, two drugs that exhibit profound anti cancer effects are Dipyridamole

anyone have experiene with Wenxin Keli
I just read an interesting article about Wenxin Keli and Afib. Wenxin Keli is a Chinese herb extract reported to be of benefit in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac inflammation, and heart failure.[13] Wenxin Keli is composed of five main herbal extracts: Nardostachys chinensis Batal extract

Ramipril
I went into AF July 17 and had a cardioversion Jan 18, after which I stopped all meds but Apixaban. After recent breathlessness I've been prescribed Bisoprolol 5mg then saw a cardiologist who wasn't exactly a communicator. He's scheduled me for another cardioversion but meanwhile has prescribed Ramipril

Renal Failure and breast cancer
I've got Stage 3 kidney disease due to antibiotics I was taking in 2010. Just found out a couple of days ago breast cancer is confirmed, have to get biopsy to determine specific type and sub-type. Does anyone know if treatments will affect my kidneys?

Worried about other half
So after being diagnosed with AF and unsuccessful cardioversion, OH has taken Amiodarone for 18 months prior to ablation last November. Following ablation, he suffered with digestive problems. Continued to take Amiodarone til he started coughing & feeling breathless; he saw his GP who immediately stopped

Good news about the creatinine levels, but there is some questions :(
She said you don't have
renal
failure
or anything??!!! I did the test while I was hydrated well also.. she said test again and everything will be fine... How do I know that I didn't do any injuries to my kidneys? I did ultrasound and everything seems fine also no kidney stones or anything?

Chest pain advice please
I’ve been on 75mcg since March and recently have had occasional indigestion type pain but on left side of chest. I was told that if any symptoms, to reduce levo. It’s taken 12-15 years to get 75 mcg and have had TPO ab 13000 until I went GF, now halved. If I go to docs they will stop levo or at least
