kidney blood test questions
I just had a routine blood test. I won’t be able to see the doctor for answers until Friday and I’m worried and scared. My eGFR numbers dropped from 95 to 44 in one year. My Creatinine numbers are high and my cholesterol numbers also shot way up. I have no symptoms. Has anyone else had such a change

Imperial College Help please
Hi, further to my last post - thank you all so much - my GP and Renal Consultant are in agreement that I see a rheumatologist as well as continuing to see my renal Consultant. A few people and Vasculitis UK recommended Imperial College as I believe they have a Vasculitis Centre there? I think I've had

cortisol test
hi, I have had a thyroid test done by blue horizon, the morning cortisol has come back at 310. I have read that they investigate anything lower than 450, is this the case? What should I do? It was finger prick, I have not done a 4 point Saliva test thanks matty

Stabbing pains
I’m in the middle of all my tests - looks like I have (perhaps) fibrosis F2/F3 and severe fatty liver. And some mild portal gastropathy. However it’s a pain in the upper abdomen that’s confusing me. It’s mostly a stabbing sharp pain and sometimes it actually makes me itch - not like on the skin, but

Taking antihistamine with cirrhosis
I am suffering from pet allergy and would like to take antihistamines.. which over the counter are safe with cirrhosis? Are there any other suggestions to relieve the symptoms. All blood work are within normal range and living a normal healthy life, obviously no alcohol.

RA, Vitiligo & the sun
I’m very new to the RA world having been diagnosed at the end of January. I’ve had Vitiligo since I was 18 (now 51) so am used to being careful in the sun, factor 50 every day. I started methotrexate on being diagnosed with RA and am aware of it causing sun sensitivity. I’m due to go to Australia

NHS Targeted Lung Check
Hi folks . . . those smokers or ex smokers on here may be aware of this screening programme currently being rolled out. Apparently the scan can ID a number of incidental issues including Liver Lesions which I believe are not usually related to alcohol consumption. However, might they also detect Fatty

battling B12 deficiency/pernicious anemia
For years , I have been going through cycles of extreme exhaustion, brain fog , balance issues, and I have lived with ringing in my ears since youth. Three years ago, stumbled into the doctor feeling like I was dying. He ran several test. Did nothing for treatment. He did send me to a neurologist

Fenofibrates
Someone asked if Dr. Jones' book mentioned the use of fenofibrates.... yes, it does in several places. This might be a good book to have if you are considering using them. He is the leading expert on PBC. Hope it helps... The subject is discussed in the chapter for 'Treatment of PBC'. Many have been
