Waiting for blood and ultrasound results, suspected cirrhosis and portal hypertension
Had bloods taken February and Ultrasound March and am awaiting results. I gave up alcohol in February which I haven't found too difficult. The sonographer told me quite a bit, apparently pancreas, kidneys, spleen and gall bladder seem to be okay. There is some scarring on my liver but he said he'd seen

high potassium levels/hyperkamedia
Hi all has anyone experienced high potassium levels, a condition they call hyperkamedia. I have cirrhosis and I was waiting for the results of my latest LFT. My consultant phoned and said that, while most of my results were stable, my potassium level was dangerously high at 6. They stopped my spironolactone

How long until your considered for a pacemaker
Hi guys I was just wondering what everyone's experience is of exhausting medication treatment until they go for the next phase of fitting pacemaker for heart failure?

Spironolactone Side Effects
A couple days ago there was a discussion about severe leg swelling due to heart failure. Several of you mentioned better results with Spironolactone than you had with Lasix. I plan to talk to my Dr about it. But can those of you using Spironolactone please let me know about any side effects or problems

Diziness and nausea at night
I take
furosemide
and
spironolactone
for the fluid retention. My gp told me it could be caused by being a little dehydrated, I think maybe it could be because I don't eat too much during the day, I don't have too much appetite. Any advise is much appreciated! Thanks

Leave it to me, I got stuck in my compression socks today LOL!!!
What a ridiculous day. Thought maybe some of you could laugh at this too. As you know we do get edema with CKD. My PCP had me start wearing compression socks to help with edema in ankles and feet. I was wearing a pair of my holiday compression socks with candy canes today. I've worn them and washed

Spironolactone
I was recently in hospital in Cyprus with pneumonia. Whilst there it was discovered that I had dangerously low potassium levels. That was dealt with and I lost 6 kgs of fluid in 5 days. On discharge I was told to stop taking Bumetanide, which I had been on for 11 years and go onto Spironolactone. It
