Hi I have just discovered this group and for my first post I though I would post my heart problems story. Last year I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and had a severe case of heart failure. I had just turned 38 at the time. I had a bad case of flu for a few weeks before the diagnosis. All

Bubbles or foam in urine.
Hi, I hope everyone is doing well. I had my kidney transplant about 5 months ago. My urine has always foam or bubbles (I'm not sure) in there. There is also no protein in my urine. My doctor's told me the only way there will be foam in my urine is when there is protein in it. They too find it unusually

Spinal Fusion-break Identified while being on the Lung Transplant List.
Good evening all, I have been listed on the Lung Transplant List for over 2 1/2 years now.

Ongoing liver assessment stress
Over the last few weeks my husband has been assessed on an outpatient basis to see whether he's suitable for a liver transplant. His last test was this week on Wednesday when he had to do a treadmill test to see how fit his heart is. Just by chance we were looking at his medical record on line and
