Avatar f tn Therefore, people prone to encephalopathy are advised to maintain a high intake of vegetable protein and a low intake of animal protein, or even better, to become vegetarians. This type of diet will help control mental symptoms in people suffering from some degree of chronic encephalopathy—that is, those who have some degree of mental confusion and/or memory loss all the time.
Avatar n tn Usually a low creatinine level is a sign of healthy kidney function but there are exceptions. A greater muscle mass means a higher creatinine level and thus women generally have lower creatinine level than do men. So, if you are small in stature with not a lot of muscle mass a low creatinine level wouldn't be that unexpected - but, I don't know what you mean by "low creatinine level".
Avatar f tn The only test that came back abnormal was my c-reactive protein which was more than 3x the normal amount. The doc said this showed I had inflammation in the body but they weren't sure what was causing it. My rheumatoid facter came back normal. Any ideas? Could it be I could have RA but the readings are just off? He put me on a ten day run of a steroid to see if that helped and I just started it today.
Avatar f tn My C-Reactive Protein is 32. My Dr immediately scheduled a Nuclear Stress Test. It came back normal. I have been tested several times for MS. My visual Potential was abnormal(Not sure of the level of abnormality) but my hearing Potential was normal. I have one lesion on my temporal lobe that was said to be demyelinating lesion. Had a normal Spinal Tap twice. I have alot of symptoms which are so close to MS but can't get a dx.
Avatar f tn I am wondering if my intake of protein is too low. I have always had normal to oily hair and it has suddenly become dry and frizzy. Has anyone else experienced this symptom after reducing meat intake?
Avatar m tn C-reactive protein is a test that measures the amount of a protein in the blood that signals acute inflammation. For a perspective, C-reactive protein is produced by the liver. The level of CRP rises when there is body-wide (systemic) inflammation. The CRP test is considered a general test, not a specific one. In other words, it can reveal that there is inflammation present in the body, but it cannot tell you where it is.
Avatar f tn My daughter is 31 and her internist found that her thyroid is enlarged on the left side. Her thyroid tests were inconclusive but her C-reactive protein is 20. Would this go along with a thyroid disorder?
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever mentioned your C-Reactive protein as being any sort of indication of Lyme or a correlation of it being high with Lyme disease. My mom's test results have shown a steady increase. I know it's a marker for systemic inflammation, but the doc's don't seem too concerned and chalk it up to her "RA". Just wondering if any of you who have seen an LLMD can tell me if this is something they look at.

Cottage Cheese: One of the “must eat” foods on every expert’s list, cottage cheese is recommended as a substitute for other soft cheeses and dairy products. Cottage cheese provides the protein that can help boost mood and energy levels, without some of the fat of hard cheeses.
Avatar f tn A problem my friend with Hep C and i have encountered is that consumption of animal protein caused an ammonia buildup. I would wake up to the constant smell of ammonia everywhere i went. Since i am mostly vegetarian, and only break this rule with fish a few times a month, i was careful to note that the ammonia smell only occurred after eating fish. My physician tested me and found that i definitely had an ammonia buildup and i should stop eating animal protein.
Avatar f tn s nearly impossible with 2000 mg of sodium limit daily. I hit the protein shake w/ chick pea n hemp protein. The whey protein made me tired. Too much bad protein can bring on HE. You'll find your balance where you can feel good. Lots of protein bars and dry cereals have high protein and I consume a lot of those!
Avatar n tn I took 100mg aspirin that cycle. I was tested anitphospholipids, thrombofilia (except Protein C and Protein S) all test came back negative. Should I test Protein C and S first before stopping my aspirin? I have cold hands and cold feet, and my blood pressure is on the lower side. I have a high cholesterol but manage with a low fat diet. Should I wait till 12 wweks to stop aspirin? I am 8w4days today, baby is 16mm and has a heartbeat. I am very concerned. Thank you so much for your time.
Avatar n tn His MPV is 6.7, Vitamin D is 12ng/ml, his C-Reactive Protein is 3.4 mg/L and LDL is 138. His total serum protein is 8.1. All else is normal. He had a minor surgery to get his Pterygium fixed in Feb 2016 (could that be the reason for his MPV being on the lower side?) Should his report be a cause for concern? Do you advice further tests or consultation? He will be meeting a doctor next week but I'm too worried to wait for so long. Please help. Thanks!
1384238 tn?1286028762 Have you had things like ANA, ANCA, Cyroglobulin, C-Reactive Protein, Sed Rate, Protein Electro etc blood work done yet? If not find a good Rheumatologist and/or internist and rule out the things the other dr mentioned like Lupus.
Avatar f tn I have pain in my joints and muscles, reflux, heartburn, bowel problems, high cholesterol and elevated c reactive protein. I have had these problems for years. I can not remember not having heartburn and reflux. I love my doctor but couldn't get him to find any reason for pain. About four years ago, got a second opinion from an internist. He ran all types of blood tests and found high cholesterol (LDL: 150) nad elevated c reactive protein (10). He prescribed Wellbutrin?????????

Avatar n tn Ensure that you keep your fluid intake over 2000 ml, avoid caffeine and alcohol, practise moderate exercise, and focus on high-protein foods, such as seafood, and vitamin C. Also add fish liver capsules to your diet to increase libido. Do keep us posted on any further doubts in this regard.
Avatar n tn In addition, I also take iron supplements ( ferrous gluconate, 300mg, once daily) because my iron is low and Vit C supplements because I stay away from acidic foods/drinks. I have changed my diet, staying away from the trigger foods and was recommended to eat protein filled foods, because I tend to always be hungry every 2 hours, partially because I eat small portions. I recently purchased brown rice protein, but noticed for its dose of 1 scoop (20g), it has 40% of Iron.
