Avatar n tn However, because I also need a heart, I will not be allowed a kidney, and because I also need a kidney, I will not be allowed a heart. One without the other would be a waste, as the new transplant would need the other in order for a successful outcome. I hope this helps you to understand........ Don't lose hope, though. I have a ICD and I receive dialysis 6 days a week and I get along fine.
Avatar n tn When I suffered my first (and only so far ) pulmonary edema I was told that I should suppress all salt intake and reduce fluid intake. Following that I has been lucky of not having any further problem. Why do you say that Furosemide (Lasix) at home does not work? If he is taking it for long time some insensitivity can be developed. I personally had to switch from Furosemide to Torasemide when the Furosemide no longer worked. Other people change to Bumetadine.
3072999 tn?1356414732 Hi Tink, I am actually a medical coder for a hospital -the ICD-10 code would be G93.5. The ICD-9 code is 384.4. Since ICD-9 is not very specific they may have put a I after to show it is a Chiari Malformation type 1. In ICD-10 it is more specific - G93.5 states Chiari Malformation 1. So I am assuming since the ICD-9 code of 384.4 just states compression of brain they had to add a 1 so it was more specific for their notes.
Avatar f tn On Aug. 31st my dog was diagnosed with Kidney Failure. Her creatinine was at a 8. As of almost 2 weeks ago it went down to a 2. I have been giving her 6 cc's of fluid subcutaneously. As also Aluminum Hydroxide Gel, USP 5 mL after she eats. Along with PancrePlus as she basically has chronic pancreatitis since 2011 and I can only feed her either boiled chicken & rice or science diet I/D or she starts to tremble in pain.
407651 tn?1224189895 i was wanting to ask if anyone knew if a pacemaker or icd device would help with the tachycardia i have associated with the pots. in the test i had to day when i was lying down my heart rate was 130bpmin which was good for me as i was feeling well today. i was wondering whether these devices may help prevent tachycardia i get from the pots. as with my kidney disease many of the medications are unsuitable for me. i just wondering if anyone knows anything.
Avatar m tn 1. While and ICD implant is a procedure, it is not really surgery. And ICD is typically placed on one day and pt goes home the next. Usually no anesthesia is needed. Risk is very minimal. 2. If your ejection fraction is low, the ICD will serve as an "insurance policy"--ie hopefully you'll never need it but you'd be sure glad you had it if your heart "tried to die" on you 3.
Avatar f tn I actually had a damaged uretha caused by an abscess burstingabove my left ovary which caused sepsis. I was extremely ill and ended up having a uretal stent for the past year and a total abdominal hysterectomy including ovaries in May of this year. Keep pestering the doctor!!
Avatar f tn Pain and discomfort on the lower left side of abdomen can be due to several causes such as Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, infection in kidney, kidney stones, adhesions (if you had previous abdominal surgery, IBS, constipation, and an abscess in rectus abdominis muscle or psoas muscle. Since you do not have a lump or a tender hot spot, in all probability it is not a muscle. It could also be a periumbilical hernia that has got trapped resulting in small bowel obstruction or mesenteric ischemia.
Avatar f tn I am afraid that no one can gives you an answer to that. It depends on many factors including his general status and complications in other organs. What I can tell you is that, with the same information that you have given us, there are people that are living normal lives. You can see a post here where a wife wrote about her husband: "The news gets worse. They are sending my husband home to die. They say his heart is too weak to withstand surgery.

Avatar f tn Now I have passed stones before and have had an abscess in my side near kidney that almost killed me, O2 was 60%, potassium was null and void. In hospital for a month but came out of it. I was told and I have seen 10 kidney stones in right kidney and 12 in left kidney. Docs say they are calcified or as they put it (christy your kidneys are calcifying and lithotripsy won't work at this stage). I am 46 and have had these stones for 6 years.
Avatar n tn He was having v-tach quite often and he also ended up with an ICD. After about 5 years with the ICD his heart started to fail pretty badly. The docs even put him on hospice care. Part of the problem was my Dad's reluctance to switch his meds. He was comfortable with the meds he had and didn't want to bother with the side effects of new meds. After doing a face plant in the hospital parking lot one day, he agreed to switch to the Amiodarone.
231903 tn?1281482584 Hence there is a high chance of these. There could be an accompanying UTI. A kidney abscess too will cause similar symptoms but will present with a higher fever. The other possibility is that the ovarian cyst has got twisted. The third possibility of endometriosis can be considered if you have pain only around your periods. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do discuss this with your doctor (urologist) and get yourself examined. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn My 9 month old cat recently had an abscess that burst on his side. I took him to the vet two days ago and he was put on amoxicillin. Today, right next to the burst abscess there is another abscess formed. There are not visible wounds so there is nowhere to drain from. He does not feel warm to touch on his nose or his ears. The vet is closed for two days and there are no emergency clinics near me. Please offer advice on how to help my Oliver.
Avatar f tn Right upper abdominal pain can be due to cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder), stones in gall bladder, duodenal ulcer, abscess under the diaphragm, liver problems and abscess or due to duodenal ulcer. Right flank pain is generally due to kidney stones. Gall bladder problems have been ruled out in your case. Abscess should be seriously considered. Lower right abdomen pain is commonly due to appendicitis. The pain, can at times come and go and not give the classic picture.
Avatar f tn I was admitted to the hospital and after numerous tests they diagnosed me with lobar nephronia (intermediate stage between a bad kidney infection and developing an abscess). They were surprised as this is seen more commonly in children, I'm 26. They put a PICC line in so I could give myself Rosephin for 4-6 weeks and released me from the hospital. Unfortunately, my body was leaking everyday for a week at the PICC line insertion site.
Avatar n tn i have a bump thts as abscess in my upper part of gum i wll pop it but next day r 2 it wll come right back whats thats
Avatar m tn The later ICDs are more sophisticated and do a better of of identifying V-tach correctly and attempt to pace me out of V-tach before shocking. In the course of replacing tone ICD, I got an infection and the ICD and leads had to be removed and placed on the right side. Through all of this, I continued to exercise, but gave up competitive racing. In the last couple years, the V-tach returned about 1 or 2 times per month.

Avatar m tn A few days ago I had my ICD turned off. Have had it in place for four years and have hated every second. Am now looking into having the control unit removed. Does anyone know how difficult this is to have done. My Dr. does not want me to have it removed and even wants me to turn it back on. It has gone off once, bit my tongue almost off and broke a tooth. Enough already.
Avatar n tn pyelonephritis, kidney stone or kidney abscess; spinal arthritis; disk disease and even muscle spasm. What tests were done? I would recommend that you drink plenty of fluids and have a regular follow-up with your doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
