Anyone’s gfr from their labs differ from gfr calculators?
My labs show a different gfr than what the calculators show. Is it bc there’s other blood related factors that get equated? Bc my creatinine has remained at 1.10 and bun 20 for over 10 years but over the years my blood labs show my gfr going from 96-70 in about 10 years. Note I didn’t get labs done

So I'm so confused lol I phoned the gp who's receptionist told me my urine microalbumin level was 3 and satisfactory. I went and got a print out and infact my microalbumin was <3 mg/l which I'm gathering is good. My urine creatinine was 3.5mmol/L but there were no ranges so I'm not sure if that's good

My husband hasCKD. I’m so scared
Hello everyone! I’m really scared for my husbands life. He is 45 years old and his primary has just diagnosed him with CKD. He has GFR of 70. Doctor really scared us by telling us that at his age he would properly require Dialysis and a kidney transplant. We have an appointment to see a specialist

Can someone recommend a good oncologist to consult with remotely regarding intermittent ADT?
Finally found research papers that show ADT can cause
acute
renal
failure
especially with patients who are already compromised in this arena. Anyone else had similar issues? And can someone recommend a good oncologist to consult with remotely to begin intermittent ADT?

Post AF ablation
Hello, My 65 year old father, who suffers from heart failure and AF, underwent his first AF ablation 3 days ago. Doctors didnt really tell us what to expect during the recovery period so seeing my dad struggle that much is very difficult for me. 3 days post op, he is still coughing a lot, has a headache

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

Has anyone tried oxymorphone?
Hi, has anyone here tried oxymorphone for RLS? oxymorphone is similar to oxycodone but with much less sleeping difficulties in comparison with oxycodone. I have been doing extensive research for an opioid which exerts less sleeping difficulties because the oxycodone I am taking gives me severe insomnia

Horizant for RLS
Does anyone here have experience of taking Horizant for RLS? After taking oxycodone 5 mg for many years, I have developed serious insomnia, therefore I'd like to switch to non-opioid to relieve my RLS symptoms. I'd like to know if anyone here have tried Horizant and if it is effective to relieve RLS

Low triiodothyronine levels correlate with high B-type natriuretic peptide levels in patients with heart failure
An association between low T3 and cardiac disorders. They appear to very responsibly avoid unwarranted conclusions - which came first? - but at least the question is being asked. [i] • Open Access • Published: 08 November 2021

Now I have also had arrhythmia and some oedema so I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure as well. But two echo- cardiograms showed a healthy heart, two E CGs have showed the rhythm is now

Sanjay Gupta and anticoagulants
I just watched Sanjay Gupta's YouTube video on anticoagulants. He said it is not the Afib but the company it keeps that is responsible for a stroke therefore anticoagulation is only advised if you have other factors i.e high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure etc. If that is the case why are all
