I am at stage 4 GFR 23, Type 1 diabetic for 43 years. I had one nephrologist and was not happy with my care. I dropped him and was referred to my current doctor two years ago. My ckd was caused by immunosuppressive drugs when i had a pancreas transplant. I was told by many doctors that nothing could

High ALP levels post transplant - help any advice?
My husband had his liver transplant in November 2017 and has quite a few ups and downs since resulting in admission last month for a week for various tests. The report says concern about high ALP levels and the need for further bone investigations. His ALP is normally 120-150. In hospital it was 220

Do you know how sickle cell started?
I have read scientists believe that sickle cell started during slavery. This is why black/African Americans are born with the disease more than any other race. During slavery the owners of African people would withhold drinking water from the slaves as a form of hatred and of punishment. Without water

Sickle cell and menstruation
I know someone who is sickle cell anaemic, but her menstruation is not regular and when it does come it trickles and there's no use for a sanitary pad. The problem is she's worried that this means she isn't fertile since her menstruation isn't normal. But I read somewhere that the flow isn't much cos

Any liver transplant folks in Houston who would like to help educate people as part of a screening project for undiagnosed liver disease?
We are going to be screening high risk but asymptomatic patients in Houston as part of a research study. We need a couple of people with knowledge of liver disease to explain things to patients taking part. We plan to start October 1st and run for 3 months.

Severe Joint Swelling And Pain
I am 10 1/2 post kidney transplant. My meds now include Myforic. This was recently added as they try to reduce and possibly eliminate the steroids (Prednisone and Tacro). I now am experiencing extreme joint pain, especially in my fingers on both hands. I presently cannot golf because gripping the golf
