Avatar m tn Because you are asking about hyaluronic acid, and because of the recent addition of GAG's to pharmacy shelves, I think it's important to address a few points about the uses of these compounds therapeutically. On the up side, hyaluronic acid is the same from whatever source it is isolated, and it is so common in the body that it can be used as a hypoallergenic surgical material for reconstructing and building up tissues that are lost.

Avatar m tn Could it cause vision problems, I have seen that the main ingredient of restylane is Hyaluronic acid, I have found a topical cream that is 75% hyaluronic acid, I know this wont work as well but do you think this is an option or not even worth spending hte money on the cream. Any comments or experiences would be great.
220090 tn?1379167187 Hepatic oxidative stress markers were evaluated by changes in the amount of lipid peroxides, measured as malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in liver homogenates. Serum hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), and procollagen 3 N-terminal peptide (P3NP) were determined as serum markers of hepatic fibrogenesis.
1391312 tn?1421086993 I have not started treatment for my HCV, I am GT-1a and am waiting for Telaprevir. In the meantime I continue to have stomach issues, I am going to be scoped again today- 3rd time this year- I eat healthy, I don't even drink coffee but I still have problems with ulcers-acid reflux and bile reflux. My question is how do people with stomach problems take the Riba without adding more problems?
Avatar f tn Hello, I went to the doctor to have a filler injected into the eyes dark circles area, the syringe with the gel (hyaluronic acid) was not new, I know because he took it out of a box but the blister was not sealed, I also saw that the gel in the syringe was not completely full, I saw that he took a needle with a cover from the blister, so I think the needle was new, and he placed it on the tip of the syringe with gel, I am worried that the gel (hyaluronic acid) has been contaminated with the bloo
Avatar f tn My doc did this fibersure(sp) test that tells 1. how pissed off and inflamed your liver is and 2, how much scarring and ciro there is. the scale is 1-4 with 4 being the worse I hit the jackpot on both ;-) good news, is the incivek REVERSES the scarring/ciro!! were those numbers for non-treatment, or are you on treatment?
Avatar m tn In the validation set, HA was accurate in predicting significant fibrosis, severe fibrosis, and cirrhosis with AUCs of 0.73, 0.77, and 0.97, respectively. Moreover, accurate HA level cut-offs were defined for predicting significant fibrosis, severe fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Thus, the study supports that HA level may be clinically useful as a non-invasive marker for liver fibrosis and/or cirrhosis. http://www.medscape.
Avatar m tn Can somebody from the old school on this hep.
Avatar n tn I have tried Olay regenerist, ROC and Garnier Nutritionist and currently seen ad for Hydroxatone that contains matrixly 3000, argireline and hyaluronic acid and is there anything you can recommend I use that can help minimize the wrinkles while adding collagen and elasticity to my skin. I am tired of products that offer a lot but delivers nothing. I want a product I can stick to. SO PLEASE what would you recommend I buy and how should I use it.
Avatar m tn This has been treated with ultrasound, condroitin sulphate pills for three months, anti-inflammatory drugs on and off, and an insole. The pain when I walk is still there and at times intense. I have two questions: 1. Several physicians have propose hyaluronic acid or cortisone injections. Which is recommended? 2. One physician offered to perform a chondral transplant, consisting in taking fresh chartilage from my knee and implanting it in the toe, with arthroscopic surgery.
Avatar m tn Also consider testing hyaluronic acid (HA), a serum maker for fibrosis, and check for changes over time (and you don't have to leave the country!) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18371145 BTW - for some recent dramatic evidence of post-tx FS-based reversal (here in the context of HBV) see the abstracts at the end of thread: http://www.medhelp.
Avatar n tn Check into MSM, along with the glucosamine and hyaluronic acid. No chondroitin?
Avatar m tn The computational study found that all the major markers for liver health – and hepatitis, cirrhosis and fibrosis – were all improved following the treatment of the Fuzheng Huayu formula. These were measured against the control groups in each study. These measures included the following liver diagnostic tests. Using standard mean deviation (SMD) values were: • Alanine transaminase (ALT) was reduced by an average SMD of 0.
Avatar f tn dr tyrrel already presented a study on fibrosis and antioxidants at boston 2010, the results of this trail and study will be presented at boston 2011 again no effect on viruses from vitamins and antioxidants, but 100% improved fibrosis monitoring fibroscan these are the ingredients and some can also be found in your diet BCM-95® Bio-Curcumin® (Standardized to contain 95% total Curcuminoids)(Curcumalonga), Pomegranate Extract (Standardized to contain 40% Punicosides) (Punicagranatum), Green Te
Avatar f tn While pregnant do stay away from retinols which are anti aging. They can cause birth defects. But look for something that has hyaluronic acid in it which is a natural chemical our body makes which helps retains moisture by 1000x its weight. So it is super hydrating which will help reduce and prevent wrinkles.
Avatar m tn After a couple of ACL surgeries over the years due to sports injuries and regular knee pain ever since when exercising, descending stairs etc., I was looking into the option of a combined hyaluronic acid/PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection - about which I'd heard great things - until I realised I didn't want to take the risk after the two half-botched operations I'd had done years ago. So I decided to simply take hyaluronic acid orally on the off-chance, and have had no pain since.
Avatar m tn ve had my eyes dialated twice and in both cases (one with an optometrist and one with a opthamologist) I was told everything looked fine and that my floaters was due to aging as well. The MD did a very thorough examThe reason I made the connection was that hyaluronic acid seems to be involved in both cases so I was curious if there is a connection. If you don't mind me asking, why would joint inflammation be a cause of concerns for floaters...?
Avatar m tn t smoke but i have Gerd and because of it i often inhale acid + my anxiety so i started to have shortness of breath and year ago i did x-ray and lung test,doc said that everything was ok,but i read that fibrosis can be caused by inhaling acid sometimes is it true?
