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

Family planning treatment advice
I am planning on trying to get pregnant in the next year or so. I don't know if it's best to have Radioactive Iodine treatment before hand or stick with medication, taking in to consideration the risks associated with each treatment. My thyroid levels at the moment are stable on 5mg carbamizole. I have

cirrhosis and edema / ascites
My partner diagnosed 22.12.21 with alcoholic cirrhosis stopped drinking on that date. Since then has been having 3 weekly drains and wasn't able to have diuretics due to low sodium. Was hospitalised last Friday due to extreme edema in feet, legs and scrotum. Has been on IV diuretics as sodium now OK

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

Personalised Vitamin Plans (radio)
Just a quick alert to the devious vitamin sales people! I'm sure many here are all too well aware of schemes like these. However, the end result seems to suggest just taking a multivitamin. And we know that there is a strong (and evidenced) view that multivitamins are not ideal. Issues like combinations

Hyperthyroid and TED - Is Thyroidectomy the only answer?
Hi All, I am in US and I was diagnosed with Graves back in Dec of 2017. I have been on Methimazole since then and my dose needs to be adjusted regularly as my thyroid levels keeps fluctuating. I went on quite a low dose as low as 2.5 mg from 30 mg back in 2021 and looked like I might get into remission

ALBUMIN and EDEMA and COMPRESSION SOCKS - oh my!

Long term Carbimazole
I was diagnosed with Graves in December 2020, this caused AF so medicated for both successfully. Eventually down to 5 mg of Carbimazole and no other meds. Feeling good and then Tom by Endo, I would need to come off Carbimazole to see if I was in remission. Bloods on 5mg TSH 1.34 Bloods after 8 weeks

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.

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
