Weird liver fibrosis blood test
Feaking out: Liver Firbrosis Blood Work 11/23 FibroScan Score: 4.9 kPa CAP Score: 280 dB/m Doctor note: The FibroScan Score is reliable and consistent with liver scarring at a Metavir Stage F0-1, consistent with minimal to no fibrosis. (have had three previous fibroscans with similar results). Just

first time on here
Hi! I am a 35 year old female. I was diagnosed officially with PBC at age 25. At this point in life I had a biopsy and found out I was already stage 2-3 fibrosis. Jumping forward ten years later I am now at the last stage and officially at cirrhosis. I have many symptoms now caused by the cirrhosis.

a new platform for ADC development….no sorry, it’s DAC this time! not PCa related but hopefully soon
”Orum has granted Vertex rights to conduct research using its TPD² approach to developing degrader-antibody conjugates (DACs), next-generation versions of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) which use antibodies to precisely deliver small molecule targeted protein degrader payloads to cancer cells and other

High ALT and Bilirubin and worried
my ‘urgent blood’ tests have come back and I am stressed to pieces as following my ultrasound I was told I had a fatty liver. My LFTs were all normal apart from my ALT which was 45 and needed to be less than 33, and Serum Bilirubin which was 27 and should be less than 21. Both readings end of March

ELF test
hi all, If you see my previous liver posts I’ve had varying fibroscan scores, mostly overestimated because of my BMI. Lost a ton of weight and got it down to 7.2-7.5. Had another recently after regaining most of the weight and the score is up to 10KPA. Had an ultrasound in March this year and liver

CRISPR Identifies New Genes as Drivers of Prostate Cancer Metastasis
Three research groups recently independently elucidated the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms driving prostate cancer metastasis. The innovative use of CRISPR technology not only facilitated the discovery of the genes but also opened potential new avenues for targeted cancer therapies to prevent metastasis

Is this decision right for me
I had a PSMA pet scan on 7/16/2024. The result shows a single tumor in my left lung measuring 8mm. My MO wants me to have the tumor radiated and monitor the PSA and its doubling time. A little background, I'm just short of 83 years old. I had prostatectomy in 2009, PSA undetectable until 2017. I had

I don't know what to do!!
Here is my situation. I have Atrial Tachycardia/SVT. I had a 14 day Holter that showed a 20% average burden of Supra ventricular Ectopy. I had an 11% burden of SVT. I had, on average, 20-30,000 ectopic beats every day, and 6-700 runs of SVT per day. Most of my episodes occur at night. From 10pm

Considering a change of dialysis centers
So, my nephrologist just up and left. I'm sure there was more going on behind the scenes than I'm aware of, but it was so sudden for me. He was also the consulting MD at the dialysis clinic. I'm not worried about finding another nephro, though. The nephrology department I deal with is a crack team

Stuff to Do Before Comprehensive Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
Hi all, I'm scheduling for aka Comprehensive Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery (Rotator Cuff Repair, Subacromial Decompression, and Shoulder Tenotomy). Fun! I live alone. I've arranged for cleaning, for grocery and food delivery, for errand running. I will try to schedule physical therapy and gather meds

Blood test after x-ray
Despite having a lingering cough, my mum has had no other systems but decided to see the doctor. They suggested she have an x-ray. Anyway, they've asked her to have a blood test regarding her heart. Her cough seems to be getting better and she doesn't feel tired, had any chest pains or any other
