Can’t figure it all out
So my husband went to the hospital today they said his GFR has dropped from 32 about a month ago now it’s 27, his creatinine is 216 umo1/L Sodium 140mmo1/L Potassium 3.9mmo1/L So maybe you could shine more light on it for me. Thank you

Visit with endocrinologist this week... first after starting NDT
My endocrinologist has been in the process of changing to a new practice, so I haven't been in touch with him for a couple of months. I had full labs drawn a couple of weeks ago, and I'll be seeing him this week for the first time at his new practice. Before he moved, I was on 50 mcg of levothyroxine

Can thyroid cause red palms?
I never had bright red palms but kinda pink/ red my whole life. I had thyroid iodine last year to kill my thyroid and since have had red palms. My levels are normal with meds but I still have done mild symptoms. My endocrinologist doesn’t think thyroid though.

CKD minerals and labs?
Hello. New here and new to ckd. I’m just wondering, with your lab results, when you have high potassium do you also have high everything else? Sodium calcium etc? Asking because my dad has consistently high potassium and low sodium. But right now he’s having mild edema on his legs. Our nephro keeps saying

Non-surgical management of thyroid nodules - the role of ablative therapies
Many here have asked about alternatives to surgery and radioactive iodine - and in some cases, there might be some. This paper seems to be supporting two specific options. Have to say, the phrase "treatments of choice" sticks in my throat. Possibly they have been better than the depressingly bad alternative

Salt or no salt
Just after I had 2 stents fitted just over 4 years ago, I was advised to cut salt out of my diet as it was considered that there was enough salt in the food already. Recently had a blood test that reveals that I’m low in sodium. Anyone shed any light on this? Cheers.

The Nutritional Supply of Iodine and Selenium Affects Thyroid Hormone Axis Related Endpoints in Mice
Good to see some more research on these issues. I suspect a lot of the standard picture of selenium and iodine with respect to thyroid wellness requires much verification and a fair bit of revision. The continuing problem is identifying what needs to be done - and how to achieve appropriate levels

Iodine deficiency disturbs the metabolic profile and elemental composition of human breast milk
Sometimes it appears that the thyroid world divides in two - on the one hand, those who avidly promote taking iodine, sometimes in prodigious quantities, and on the other hand, those who dismiss iodine out of hand. What I consider necessary is an understanding of where you are in terms of iodine levels

Hello hoping someone can help as worried! I’m in the middle of hormone testing and received the following result on Urine Iodine. Can anyone explain why it’s so high? Info: on Nature Thyroid for low T3 (non autoimmune), not supplementing or anything.

I have been seeing an endocrinologist who is recommending
