death

Avatar n tn 7 Any of these things can lead to the cause of death. Patients with IPF can die from heart failure, respiratory failure, or collapsed lungs.
Avatar f tn Liver problems (rarely, liver function worsens) including an increased chance of liver failure in patients with cirrhosis. Patients with both the hepatitis C virus and HIV have an increased chance of liver failure during PEGASYS treatment. Change in a blood test that measures liver inflammation occurs more often in patients with hepatitis B. If you have a rise in this blood test you may need to be watched more closely with additional blood tests.
Avatar f tn These complications result from portal hypertension and/or from liver insufficiency. The survival of both stages is markedly different with compensated patients having a median survival time of over 12 years compared to decompensated patients who survive less than 2 years (1, 3). It has also been shown that both stages have different predictors of death (1).
Avatar f tn I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.
878236 tn?1240344901 Coinfection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is not uncommon, particularly because of similar routes of infection. In HBV-infected patients, the rate of HCV coinfection ranges from 10% to 30%.[1] Patients who are coinfected have various serologic and virologic profiles and a diverse spectrum of disease.
Avatar n tn A surprising finding was that a total of fifty-three percent of the patients had thyroid cancer -- many more than the 28% who went into the surgery with a thyroid cancer diagnosis. Even when you exclude the patients who already knew they had thyroid cancer going into the surgery, the prevalence of thyroid cancer in the Hashimoto's patients as still 35.6%.

780665 tn?1239026549 You have to understand that these young people have a cardiomyopathy problem such as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. This form of cardiomyopathy can cause a sudden death event in about 2% on the population due to ventricular arrhythmias. It is the most common form of cardiomyopathy found in young people at autopsy.
Avatar f tn Cirrhosis, in particular the development of portal hypertension, is responsible for the clinical manifestations of chronic liver disease, although it is heterogeneous both histologically and clinically, and one of the flaws of current histological scoring systems is that cirrhosis is represented as one or at most two stages. Clinically Patients with cirrhosis may be symptomatic or near death.
803751 tn?1238180989 While a few different systems are used, by the descriptive language you use, it appears that he's now stage 3 in a 4 stage system where stage 4 is cirrhosis. In general, Hepatitis C is fairly slow moving but not in all cases. Also, you should understand that biopsy staging can be off by as much as two stages due to sample size, relative sample size and pathologist bias. .
Avatar n tn My question is whether somone could show resistance to antibiotics within the first weeks of exposure or is this more common in more advanced stages of HIV/AIDS?
Avatar f tn My labwork is normal except for my eosinophils went from .1 or .2 to 7 in just just a few months on top of my positive ANA and ASMA. Any experience with this anyone? Thank you.
Avatar n tn Even patients with cirrhosis reversed the damage. 10% of patients with cirrhosis completely repaired their livers. It is not uncommon in patients who SVR and continue to care for their livers to have a fibrosis reversal by 2 stages (that figure is from a different study).
Avatar m tn , 20% of chronic hep C patients develop cirrhosis within 20-30 years. Of these cirrhosis patients 1-4% annually develop HCC.
Avatar f tn I am going to have a fibroscan in a couple of weeks and i am expecting to have advanced liver fibrosis and ciarrhosis (not sure if thats spelt right)! I have heard of ciarrhosis measured in terms of 'stages', can anyone give me any infomation on what the stages mean so that i can be a little prepared for my appointment?
Avatar f tn The usual diuretic regimen for ascites consists of single morning doses of oral spironolactone and furosemide, beginning with 100 mg of the former and 40 mg of the latter. Hair failing out is not a symptom of liver disease unless you mean you are losing body hair and not the hair on your head. What do you mean edema up to your neck? Edema typical manifests itself in patients with advanced liver disease as ascites (abdominal fluid) or fluid in the lower extremities, legs and feet.
Avatar m tn Subclinical hepatitis occurred in 27% of patients during the early stages of disease, according to one study [2]. Abnormal liver function test (LFT) findings generally indicate mild hepatocellular injury. Patients with early disseminated Lyme disease are more likely to have abnormal LFT findings than are patients with localized disease [3]. The results of 3 different studies that evaluated abnormal LFT findings in patients with Lyme disease are compared in table 2.
Avatar f tn Have lots of sleep :) im 7 weeks and toileting im the night has slowly got more and more times in the night even have little naps during the day if needed :) but to try help it try drink loads through the day so your hydrated on a night and need to drink less which means less trips to the toilet!!
Avatar f tn Hi, I received good replies back about the 2 different scales that measure the biopsy results. However, are these stages of cirrohsis? I'm not sure I understand this part yet. I am preparing for tx and am quite apprehensive about the whole thing. I stll have to get documentation of contraceptives then I can start tx.They recommended Mirena (IUD) because it involves only 1 hormone. My insurance does not cover it so if I do not want to afford $900.00 I can take the deprovera injection.
