Avatar m tn Go get tested for Hepatitis A,B and C if you want to know if you have Hepatitis. Everyone has yellow urine and it gets darker when you don't drink liquids.
Avatar n tn I recognized what it was immediately and the first thing I did was drink a TON of water and cranberry juice, as well as taking cranberry extract supplements with Vitamin C. Within less than 24 hours, my urine turned clear, the burning stopped, and there was no more fatigue. Two days later, I am still drinking a LOT of water, urinating frequently and have little to no burning sensation. My question is this...should I be worried about the infection travelling to my kidneys?
Avatar f tn I, for one, have never heard of alkali Vitamin C. By alkali, I'm assuming that it's non-acidic, which would mean that it would be more tolerable if taken in large/ mega doses. As far as commonly used, over-the-counter Vitamin C goes, it's a water soluble supplement and the body expels (usually through urine) what it doesn't use. So, overdosing would be rare... if it happens at all. I'm not sure, but my guess would be that an alkali variety is also non toxic. Dr.
Avatar m tn hi all, i have no experience with kidneys tests and since i take an antiviral which can damage kidneys and i found albumine in urine in last test i ask if results are very bad or it can be normal to detect some from time to time albumine in urine 3mg/dl (0-2) cystatin C 0.98 (0.56-0.95) after i took an antibiotic in feb 2015 my creatinine clearance lowered to 88-90 (min 80) and creatinine got higher to 1.1-1.2 (before 0.8-0.9).
Avatar n tn At this point, cranberry juice has been proven by some studies to decrease the risk of UTI because it prevents binding of certain organisms to the lining of the bladder wall. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and aside from improving circulation and healing (good for the hair and skin) it also acidifies the urine and thus help destroy bacteria.
Avatar m tn If your urine contains, say, extra vitamin C, that vitamin C was in your blood. If the vitamin was in your blood, you absorbed it just fine. It is the absence of water-soluble vitamins in urine that indicates vitamin deficiency. If your body excretes vitamins in your urine, that is a sign that you are well-nourished and have nutrients to spare. That is good. Here's another way to think of it: Standing at the base of the Hoover Dam looking up, you cannot tell how much water is behind it.
9737437 tn?1406384963 Vitamin c is basically useless for a cold. If you feel like you still need it, drink some orange juice or get it from another natural source. Too much of any vitamin isn't good.
Avatar f tn However, I also have anemia and silly me accidently took 2 vitamin c-500mg all at one time on an empty stomach like 3 days ago, My doc prescribed me to take 1 vitamin c per day and with food. i also take iron tablets i am to take 2 twice a day. when i took the vitamin c twice at one time on empty stomch like 3 days ago, i vomited all nite n the morning after, Idk if it was due to pregnancy or just the vitamin c??.

Avatar f tn You might have a reactivated case of Epstein Barr virus (EBV). You can ask you doctor to test you for EBV. Make sure to test for the whole EBV panel including EBV PCR Quant.
Avatar m tn I had had the symptoms a few days and started trying to self treat with left over amoxicillian, AZO and tons of Vitamin C and a gallon of water before the test. They gave me a regular antibiotic and sent my urine off for culture. My urine came back with no bacteria and I was feeling better yesterday but today I am feeling it again. Could all the medications I took alter the Urine Culture?
Avatar m tn t remember the name of the test except it may be something like .... C-26(?) I am going to have the test re-done. I have had a Pap Smear, Mammogram, Cat Scan of my chest and belly, and another Colonoscopy which showed no sign of cancer. My doctor told me if the blood test is hight again then he wants me to have a full body Cat Scan. I am very confused about this whole process. Can anyone shed some light on this for me. Thank you so very much. Blessings.
Avatar m tn 24h URINARY CORTISOL 39.00 µg/24h [4.3 - 176] From what I see, I'm in the range, maybe low normal but I don't know if is there a connection with adrenal fatigue. What's your opinion? Please, can someone help me, my endocrinologist say I haven't problem but I have a lot of anxiety.
Avatar f tn she had very minor stone problem last month. Medication went on for 45 days. recently we got a urine test. report shows- pus cells 0-1/hpf & epithelial cells 1-2/hpf (RBC, crsytal & cast- being NIL). Please comment on this recent report.
Avatar f tn Hello~It is very unlikely that it is due to the Vitamin C, I have taken that brand in the Raspberry flavor, it is red, and it has never changed the color of my urine. You actually can not get too much vitamin C, it is a water soluble vitamin, thus your body excretes what it doesn't need, but again, it would not be dark unless you are not drinking enough water throughout the day.
Avatar f tn I red the article. I can see now that taking Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Selenium for a long time was a mistake. Perhaps this is why my PCR jumped from 1.000.000 to 17.000.000 in 3 months. On 15 of January I'm going to begin the second treatment with Interferon, Rib.and Boceprevir. (the first time I was on placebo) It will be good if I could begin the treatment with a lower viral load. If the virus is still detectable,after 4 months of treatment, I will be taken off the treatment.
Avatar n tn My husband has been having really foul smelling urine for a few weeks now, it smells like sulfur and is quite strong. There are times when I enter the bathroom a half an hour after he went and I can still smell it. He says he feels fine, and does not have any other symptoms. Has anyone had a similar problem or know what this might be??
Avatar f tn Doctors will tell you that your urine should be pale, but if you are taking a lot of Vitamin B (or eating a lot of food that is high in Vitamin B) you can get urine that is yellow for that reason alone. (My prenatal vitamins gave me very bright yellow pee.
Avatar n tn I have been having really foamy urine for a while and am worried about it. I am a 22 yr old man, somewhat over wieght. 5' 10" 200 lbs. The urine foams up alot on the water surface, and this has never happened to me my entire life, so I know it is not normal. I am use to seeing bubbles come and pop quickle, but sometime the whole surface is covered in foam and bubbles and it stays for a long time. I have been to the urologist and had urinalysis which came back normal.
Avatar f tn Vitamin c is water soluble, so any excess you would excrete through your urine. Vitamin d is fat soluble and the excess is absorbed by your body. Too much of a fat soluble vitamin can lead to toxicity, so i would talk to the pharmacist to see what levels are safe to consume.
Avatar f tn t even know you have it without the test. They swab your labia and anus and test for this particular type of bacteria. If you treat positive they'll run antibiotics through an iv during your labor. If you haven't tested yet and are worried about testing positive, you can take garlic supplements, probiotic supplements and extra vitamin c to reduce your risk.
765439 tn?1292960414 For anxiety and panic attacks I had 24 hour saliva and urine tests. I was positive for high cortisol. I take high dosages of vitamin B5 because high cortisol depletes that vitamin. I also take ashwagandha (Indian ginseng) to help normalize cortisol.
691724 tn?1230682644 B vitamins are water solubles (like vitamin C) the excess shouldl be flushed out by the urine.
