Avatar n tn HAS ANYONE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SPS 9STIFF PERSON SYNDROME?) I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS DISEASE. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SPS IN DEC. 2006.
Avatar m tn Prior to being diagnosed with Hep C I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. My question is that if I have attained SVR what are my chances of my kidneys returning to normal. I've done research on this but have inconclusive answers. If anyone knows anything or can direct me to a site that shows remission rates for nephrotic syndrome post treatment of HCV it would be greatly appreciated. **I must say the stories on this site helped me get through this ordeal.
Avatar f tn With this, one has to check for the presence of hematuria or red blood cells in the urine, your blood pressure and total cholesterol levels. Nephrotic syndrome is a primary differential here. Was your kidney function assessed ( BUN and creatinine levels determined?). With the back pain, several differentials also need to be ruled out. This includes musculoskeletal pain, arthritc pain and an underlying spinal cord condition. Chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia should also be considered.

Avatar m tn Looking for a support group for Susac's Syndrome; doesn't look like there is much out there. My wife is starting treatment this week and it would be great to have her be able to reach out to someone who is familiar with this disease. Thanks!

Avatar n tn Seven patients, of whom five were hepatitis C positive, developed renal function impairment long after transplantation, as well as de novo nephrotic syndrome (n = 5), severe hypertension (n = 5), nephritic syndrome (n = 1), and increased serum creatinine (n = 1). This type III cryoglobulinemia was associated with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and with thrombi within the glomeruli in one case.
Avatar m tn I recently saw a post on here where someone was asking the question connecting these two problems together....I am wondering what other people have come across? My daughter was diagnosed with Minimal Change Disease...which of course is idiopathic. I am wondering if Lymes could have been her "cause". Any thoughts or theories or? would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn that affected my legs so my Dr. just prescribed Cellcept. I filled the prescription yesterday and was scared to death after reading the literature on it. What is PPMS? I will be interested in seeing if anyone has used this medication too. Sunnyb.

Avatar m tn hey my daughter is 9 and half years old she gets puss boils on her body which are painful....she was treated for it but got it again...
Avatar n tn I've experienced foamy urine.........when I was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, massive protien spillage causes it. Your doc should get you to provide a 24hr collection to have an accurate prediction of protienurea, a dip stick can be misleading especially if you are a high protien eater. Sometimes it can just be a reaction of certain meds that are being taken.
Avatar m tn It can also occur in cardiac failure, liver failure and nephrotic syndrome. So, further therapy and prognosis will depend on the cause. If you can get back with the diagnosis, I can help elaborate further. Regards.
422425 tn?1307992990 in there it says I have Grade 4 Sjogrens Syndrome. Does anyone know is that the same as Stage 4? Just wondering. I see my Rheum dr on the 23rd of Feb.....I was just wondering. Also I have been taking Tramadol (Ultram) for pain 3 times a day, Does it have any side effects like weird dreams? I have had some doozies lately.
Avatar n tn Hi, Frothy urine seems to be associated with increased protein levels in the urine ( as in nephrotic syndrome).Some have associated this with calcium levels and gallblader disease.As for the first question, at this point we can not definitely tell that the antibiotics made your urine frothy. However drugs are metabolized by the liver and kidney and are excreted in the urine.
Avatar n tn I'm a patient with autoimmune hepatitis type II, and my doctor has just perscribed cellcept in an attempt to reduce or stop use of prednizone. It is really important to me to try and have a child, but I'm afraid if I start cellcept that I shouldn't get pregnant. I know cellcept is a class D drug, and discussed my concern with my doctor.
Avatar n tn I had a breakthrough with Avonex so my dr. recommended adding cellcept to the avonex shots. If so can you tell me how you have done with cellcept. Thanks!!!!

Avatar n tn m afraid your friend has got the nephrotic syndrome. Back to 2005, his protein level of 1G/24hr was already too high. He needs to see a nephrologist immediately and start treatment straight away. A kidney biopsy could be considered.
Avatar f tn The doctor says he proposes to take my mother off CellCept altogether at some point in time and only PanGraaf will be needed for the whole life - in the meantime the doctor may prescribe CellCept in on / off basis.
778275 tn?1326913623 After a upper respiratory infection last month I have been having someone more weaknesses and even a slight breathing problem at times, so he wants to put me on Cellcept. The problem is Cellcept can cause Lymphoma and other side effects and infection risk,. I want to get off Prednisone due to weight gain and creeping up hypertension and the Mestinin digestive problems are a real pain.
Avatar n tn Damage to the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys (glomeruli) that filter waste and excess water from your blood can result in nephrotic syndrome. One result of nephrotic syndrome is low levels of protein (albumin) in your blood, which can lead to fluid accumulation and edema. Worst case scenarios.
Avatar n tn Have them check for protein loss in your urine this might cause those symptoms instead of GI? There is a disease called Nephrotic Syndrome. This usually has edema (swelling in the feet, ankles, around eyes. However you could have vomiting and weight gain as well. Just a shot in the dark. I'm not in the medical profession, so please don't take this to heart, this is just something to read about. Don't be scared to come right out and ask your DR what he/she is checking you for.
Avatar n tn Hi The symptoms of swollen face and gain in body weight in a child may be due to allergy, hypothyroidism, kidney problems or as a side effect to steroids. The first signs of nephrotic syndrome are puffy eyelids and a swollen face. You should consult a pediatrician. A careful history taking, physical examination and laboratory studies (thyroid profile, urinalysis and serum albumin) would help reach the correct diagnosis so that appropriate therapy can be initiated.
Avatar n tn - have a damaged spleen or no spleen - have sickle-cell disease - have HIV infection or AIDS - have cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma - have nephrotic syndrome - have had an organ or bone marrow transplant - are taking medication that lowers immunity (such as chemotherapy or long-term steroids). When a second dose is given, it should be given 5 years after the first dose. Here is a Vaccine Information Statement with more information: http://www.cdc.
