high liver enzymes
Hello there. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences or knowledge over what I’m going through right now. Recently I had my blood test done. My ALT,AST, and alkaline phosphates came out super high (131, 89, 146) respectfully. I was struggling with a really bad flu at the time of these tests. Could

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

How do you know if your intrinsic factor antibody blood test is good or bad?

Do I have Graves disease?
After being diagnosed with Thyrotoxicosis and medicated with Carbimazole and Propranolol, they finally did the Thyroid Antibodies test. They said I have hyperthyroidism, likely caused by Graves disease. I have symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease. My results came back in range! So, do I not have Graves disease

Terrys nails
hi there, I’m just wondering if anyone with PBC has experience with Terrys nails? I have it on 5 of my finger nails (2 on one hand and 3 on another). My liver bloods are normal just now except for GGT (112) and my last fibroscan was 5.7 with CAP score of 233. Both AMA and ANA positive but my hepatoligist

Not like a research from Johns Hopkins, but let's consider it
"Florida Atlantic University's Schmidt College of Medicine and collaborators are the first to demonstrate in vivo the chemo-preventive properties of alpha-santalol against prostate cancer development using a transgenic mouse model." https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240213/Study-demonstrates-chemo-preventive-properties-of-alpha-santalol-against-prostate-cancer-development.aspx

Nebivolol problems
I'm struggling with trying to balance blood pressure and heart rate.I take 1.25 Nebivolol once a day but am finding it lowers my BP too much which is making me feel dizzy and light headed.Have tried stopping it for a day but then get tachycardia and AF. Anyone else had this problem?

Low blood pressure
I was diagnosed with AF in October ( now permanent but controlled)and heart failure in December(EF 32). I am now on Bisoprolol 2.5mg, Edoxaban60mg, Entresto24mg twice daily,and new one Spironolactone25g. My problem is that my already low BP plummets every time a new drug is introduced or an increase

Third Perianal Abscess Drainage
I just had my third Perianal Abscess drained in an operation. I was diagnosed with Crohn's last year. I have fistula's that haven't closed so they put a Seton in during this operation. I'm wondering what suggestions people might have for diet and how to avoid getting another abscess. It's incredibly

Newbie to this community and wondering about B12 deficiency
Hello, for the past 4 years I've had symptoms of CFS, plus low FT4 and on occasions, low TSH. I've also had my cortisol tested by saliva and short synacthen test, both showed low levels but the adrenals work when stimulated so it's not Addisons. I've tried levothyroxine, T3 and thyroid glandulars and

What category of Intermediate Risk Am I?
I am trying to make a decision regarding HT with RT. I am 78. I have CKD 3b, and a solitary kidney. I am 6.5 years in remission from UTUC kidney cancer. A number of papers indicate that HT could be detrimental to my kidney. Those with FIR PCa could avoid HT with little risk. The following is defined

Phosphorous questions
I have been on home hemo now for almost four months. My phosphorous has steadily increased. I never had issues with Phos until dialysis. They have put me on Sevelamer binder, which totally cemented me up, when I took two a day. I mean in pain constipation. I backed off to one a day, when they wanted

how often for a Fibroscan
Someone recently asked how often she should get a fibroscan or a MRE ( a more sophisticated scan). In Dr. Jones' book he says after getting one usually upon diagnosis for a baseline, most have one repeated every 1-5 years depending on how active or aggressive the disease is. I strongly encourage everyone
