Avatar n tn What do you think my options are if it turns out a arterial underneath of the venous one? And do i need to worry about having a lobectomy if it is just a venous malformation. Thank you for your help.
Avatar m tn Check you arterial tension in the morning, and hurt rate.......
468015 tn?1218719780 Hi, venous angiomas are not tumors but some venous malformations, variant pathways in the normal venous drainage of an area of the brain. For more information visit website http://www.emedicine.com/radio/byname/brain-venous-vascular-malformations.
Avatar n tn I am also not a physician, but I have done research on this and checked with several meter companies. Like the person above me stated venous blood will give you a different reading.
Avatar n tn It may seem counterintuitive but hunger and glucose levels are two separate processes. Hunger is what your body craves vs excess sugar circulating in your blood stream. Make sense?
Avatar f tn jsp My suggestion is low or no sugar and stay away from bad carbs for the latter will jack up his glucose levels. For a list of good carbs vs bad carbs go here http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art6628.
Avatar n tn My fasting glucose results (Glucose Plasma-Hexokinase), three in last three months have been in the range of 108-120 mg/dL (normal range 70 - 100). In my last test I also got the HbA1c checked, it is: High Performance Liquid Chromatography-HPCL = 5.5 % (normal range 4.27 -6.07) The question is that fasting glocose test is indicating high glucose level but HbA1c in reasonably below the max. value. Which one is to be relied upon? Shall I be concerned at these glucose levels? Thanks in advance.

Some patients may need to be on long-term oral anticoagulation. Some may need to be on anticoagulation for the whole life. Plavix, similar to Aspirin, is an antiplatelet drug and is effective in treating arterial clots (in cases of stroke, heart attack, peripheral arterial disease). Plavix stops platelets aggregation or prevents them from sticking together.
Avatar f tn I would say that there could be a relation yes, at least theoretically, but an endocrinologist would be able to answer this question correctly.
Avatar m tn a low normal glucose level vs normal high glucose level has also been found to have lower rates of all cancers and higher life expectancy when cancer is already developed.......
Avatar n tn Hello. I posted a few weeks ago regarding concern about my bloog glucose. To sum up, I had never had a fasting blood glucose, have diabetes in my family, so decided to get a home monitor, see where I stood (given I am still in my 20's but not in good shape - getting there, exercising now, but wanted a baseline).
Avatar n tn I suggest you discuss with your doctors regarding evaluating both the arterial and venous blood flow of your lower extremities, through angiogram and venous dupplex scan respectively. Also correct any underlying causes such as hypertension, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol levels. Regards.
Avatar n tn Upon performing the 2hr OGTT (using 75g drink) or the 3hr OGTT (using 100g drink), on several occasions, I have experienced serum glucose values measured at 1hr lower than those of the 2hr glucose values (Fasting glucose within reference range and all samples collected, processed, and separated within appropriate timing). For individuals with "mild" diabetes and suspected gestational diabetes, how likely it is for glucose measurements to show this trend?
Avatar n tn Blood pressure was 50/38, pulse 32, potassium 2.2, low phosphate, glucose 160. he continued shacking, grunting, and slurring his words after he came to. They gave him dopamine, potassium, and insulin. He has never been diabetic. They only gave the insulin the one time. His levels are now back to normal. What can cause this? He was not vomiting or no diarreah before his attack.
Avatar n tn The type 1 diabetic has a more damaged pancreas than the type 2 diabetic person, but both are equally responsible for controlling their glucose levels, and how well they do that is what ends up defining their overall health. If either one lets glucose levels run high, then complications such as kidney damage or eye damage or nerve damage can happen. But both should be equally able to keep glucose levels close to the normal range if they test often and take appropriate medications.
194838 tn?1303428544 I do not test my own blood but am sent to the hospital for fairly regular tests but notice that when people post with their blood glucose levels they are in the 100s. I am from the UK and wonder if there is a conversion chart because I think it would be more beneficial if I could compare with others on the forum to get a sense of how im doing for comparison, Any advise would be greatly appreciated .
Avatar f tn If they treat you as if you have it thered be a much higher risk for c section and a different treatment and an increase in the number of visits you have vs someone who might actually need those visits. Are there no buses? Do you not have friends to drive you? Family? A lot of wic offices have women that drive pregnant women to appointments. Have you considered that?
Avatar m tn Less pressure means less glucose and oxygen to brain so the brain will get your head a ground level so that it can get the needed glucose and oxygen which is why people faint...........High blood pressure will most likely cause a headache, but then again anything is possible. I keep my pressure low with 400 mg magnesium, 5 grams time release vitamin c, cayenne pepper capsules, walking about 30 minutes daily, and 10 mg Lisinopril.
Avatar f tn You will need a PET scan to confirm and differentiate from pneumoconiosis since malignant cells have higher rate of glucose metabolism. Thus, the principle of PET scan is intracellular accumulation of FDG and preferential accumulation of glucose in malignant cells, leads to visualization of malignancy on PET scan. It is the diagnostic and staging tool in cancer, assesses malignant potential in a pulmonary nodule if it is solid and more than 1 cm in dia.
Avatar f tn It can be arterial or venous. Arterial if it is right on time with the heartbeat and venous if it is in between. I have arterial. A common cause of this is something called arterio-venous dural fistulae, which is basically that an artery is connected immediately to a vein. My doc listened with the stethoscope on the bone behind my ear. If it would have been a dural fistulae he would have heard my heart beat then. He didn't, so that ruled it out.
