Lower dose and feeling unwell
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask for some comments on my recent blood results. I have taken 200ug/day of levothyroxine for several years. In April 2021 I had a blood test, and a GP advised me to reduce to 175ug/day. In January this year I had another test, and was reduced to 150ug/day. While my results

Thyroid Hormone Transporters in a Human Placental Cell Model
There has long been the received wisdom that T3 does not cross the placenta. I am not aware this has been proved in any level of detail. This paper appears to make that look wrong. Indeed, it appears to identify specific pharmaceutical agents which directly and significantly affect T3 transport

Stage 5 symptoms just before dialysis begins
Ok, some of you folks who have gone before me, tell me again what symptoms I should be seeing at stage 5 to know it's "time" to start dialysis. I've been waiting for these symptoms to show up for months and I still feel ok, doing pretty much whatever I want to do (within reason for my age-69). I see

Who knows about ferritin/ iron tests? Confused here! Do I need to do something? Help please!
I get confused with ferritin and iron results, as I can't remember how they work together. Ferritin is low, but haemoglobin is ok? My GP marked everything 'normal'. I'd be grateful for some explanation and advice on what to do please! I have felt more tired. In fact absolutely exhausted a couple of

frequency and coverage of lab work
My 65 y.o. husband was diagnosed with CKD 6 months ago with a calculated GFR of 53. We immediately changed his diet to very low sodium, potassium and phospherous, and limited protein. In January (3 Mos. later) his PCP ordered lab work (blood and urine). There was very little change. Here it is 3 more

edema - in testicles
We are waiting on a call back from the hospital. Partners edema getting worse by the day, now throughout legs and feet and testicles. He is in so much discomfort it is breaking my heart. He had to stop diuretics due to low sodium but last bloods showed sodium at normal (lowest end of normal) level

A List of Screening Tests For A High PSA
A 73 year old friend had a PSA test that came back @ 50 . He is not afraid, is cool and analytical. He can afford to have any out of pocket testing and treatment . He wants to understand the status of his prostate cancer before having any treatment. He is asking if there is a list of screening tests

Husbands collapse
Well I've just visited my husband again and the Dr says that his confused state may improve once I get him back to my daughters. She doesn't know if it will ease and she's not sure if it was caused by the sodium drop or something else going on. His blood tests aren't back from yesterday, but they're

Rectal prolapse
Hi everyone and Happy Easter - hope the sun is shining where you are. It's beautiful here! (UK). Unfortunately I think I have a rectal prolapse :( . I had a soft mass pop out this morning. It's more or less gone back in now but googling tells me that it won't be a one-off. I have real difficulties with
