Avatar f tn Other than this she may need to wear a holter for holter test, undergo cardiac exam, ultrasound/CT scan of abdomen to look for renal artery stenosis, lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests. Spinal tap is both diagnostic and curative of benign intracranial hypertension. It can also be due to injury. Do discuss these possibilities with your neurologist. Take care!

Any test result must be correlated clinically. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Hope it helps.

Consume citrus and cranberry juices. Maintain hygiene. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods. Do keep us posted on your doubts and progress.

Avatar m tn Insist on a 24 Hour ABPM test. This is the gold standard test in BP measurement. The test is a little bit annoying but is non invasive and costs little. So go and have it, that will allow you to have a proper diagnosis with a 24 hour printed out history of the recorded numbers. Then you can work with your doctor on any treatment plan or any withdrawal of meds. As regards mis diagnosis,. Im not a doctor but I do personally feel that docs are a little quick to prescribe BP meds.

Avatar n tn I've had a dull mid-back pain and white tissue in my urine since December of 2007. Several urine tests have shown wbc and rbc in my urine, the most recent test had 15-30 rbc's.

Other symptoms include "malignant hypertension," extreme fatigue, hair loss, night sweats, dizziness.

351404 tn?1299489130 ll likely have a right heart catheterization. This test is often the most reliable way of diagnosing pulmonary hypertension. During the procedure, a cardiologist places a thin, flexible tube (catheter) into a vein in your neck or groin. The catheter is then threaded into your right ventricle and pulmonary artery. Right heart catheterization allows your doctor to directly measure the pressure in the main pulmonary arteries and right ventricle.
Avatar f tn I have had protein in my urine on and off this pregnancy. I had my son last year at 37+3 because of hypertension getting so bad and had like 5 24 hour urine test done.

757836 tn?1266849179 but no matter how much blood work and 24 urine test I do it comes out okay. What else could be going on if no preeclamsia. Oh I also have swollen ankles. Apart from that I feel great.
Avatar m tn s prudent to have urine testing for protein in urine from time to time (part of annual physical?), as I think it's presence may be a clear sign the kidneys are starting to fail (or are coping with an infection or both). It's not quite that simple though.
Avatar n tn It doesnt burn when I use the bathroom so I dont think its a urinary tract infection,plus I think the doctor would know when they test my urine.Also has anyone had protene in their urine and not have toxemia?Does it have a funny smell?How much protene is too much?I'm sorry for all the questions I checked online didnt find too much info except that it I have toxemia that I would be put on bedrest and monitored maybe even have to be on meds or delivery.
544906 tn?1291345405 Be sure to drink LOTS of fluids and keep an eye on it. When I had a uti a couple of months ago the only symptom I had for about a week was cloudy urine. If you can't find a drs office maybe you could stop into an urgent care center. Good luck.
Avatar m tn In many cases there is no cause found for elevated or high blood pressure. In fact, essential hypertension (also called primary hypertension or idiopathic hypertension) is the most common type of hypertension, affecting 95% of hypertensive patients. There are a lot of medicins with different working principles to lower bp. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
