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.
More specifically it is called Amoebic Liver Abscess. The abscess, if it is one, is relative small and can be cured by antibiotics. No need to go in for aspiration. It is 100% curable. Also go in for a blood test along with a liver function test to test the levels of the enzymes.
But, FIRST consult a good gastroenterologist. I wouldnt worry if I were you.

Our 39 year old daughter is in the hospital with liver failure--cirrhosis, fatty liver, and sludge in her spleen. She was admitted on 6/10/13. For the first five days she was incoherent, then gradually she began to be able to communicate. She still, eight days later, isn't sure what year it is or which hospital she is in. She's been told her condition is grave, but we are not certain she understands. They are trying to bring her liver function up to 10% of normal operability.
my husband past out, went to the hospital and they said he had liver failure..they told him to quit drinking .he has not stopped.his amonia levels are high.he will not say much, he missed his last appt. and not going back.he said when he was drinking that he does'nt have long. he stays gone and won't give a real answer to anything. i guess what i want to know is how will i know if he is at the last stage. i know he has lost about twenty pounds in the last month. not eating .
She was taken to the emergency room yesterday morning and has been admitted into Intensive care. She has liver failure. She is yellow (yellow skin and eyes). She has swollen legs and stomach. The doctors are running blood tests, but they cannot tell me anything yet. I need to know what to expect. I am 20 years old and I don't know what to do. If anyone can tell me what to expect please tell me! my email is ***@****.
.My brother 46 was given 2 months to live due to liver failure caused by alcohol and Hep B . Scared him a bit, he was put in the hospital for 4 weeks, and got better real quick. That was March 2011. He started drinking again right after he got out of the hospital. It's hard to believe but he is still working in a bar and walking. I don't know how he does it. His stomach is very swollen, he can't eat and doesn't sleep much, but he' still going!!!
Hi, I have what I am 99% sure is a Bartholin Cyst or abscess since it is painful, tender & swollen. I am a medical technician who spent 2 years treating regular abscess' so I kind of know what I am in for but have never dealt with the bartholin gland type.
I am worried because I know that it is very difficult to anesthetize and abscess locally. I am hoping I am not too late for antibiotic/ sitz bath therapy.
The fact that your son does not have any respiratory problems or other signs of illness is reassuring, and probably indicates that the current antibiotic treatment is at least keeping the liver abscess from getting worse, and may be adequately treating the abscess. Over time, the CRP should continue to drop as the infection is treated.
I've had an abscess (it's draining and draining and draining) for about 10 years, but it hasn't gone away totally yet, but it's much better than it was initially. I take cod liver oil with butter oil and try to avoid eating a lot of sugar and refined flour. I do have high blood pressure which I heard that it may be caused by a long term infection, so it's something to watch out for. That is SO great your abscess has healed!
My concern is that I have been taking 4,500mg of Acetiminoophen for two days straight (prior to this I had lower dose acetiminophen tabs. Will my liver be able to take this or just how much over the max dose of 4000 do you have to take and for how long before damge is done? What are the common signs? At present feeling fine, but wicked anxious about going over 4000mg. Some reassurance to calm me down if possible but if hard truth is really the only truth don't sugar coat it.
I'v just noticed a big abscess above my tooth, i already know i need root canal treatment for the tooth but my dentist can't take me for another week. Is it safe to wait that long without anti-biotics or treatment?
Perhaps a cyst or liver abscess. They see cirrhosis (inflammation) of the liver. They look for any abnormalities such as a tumor. I don't think you have that but they look anyway. I'm not sure what else. Perhaps a clogged port or something? You don't have yellowing of the eyes or skin right?Any tenderness in the liver area? Have you traveled outside the country lately?
Glad your Hepatitis tests were negative. One time I thought I had coccidodes.
If there is occlusion of the common bile duct, then this will also cause fever with chills. Cirrhosis of liver too presents with chills and fever. Liver failure in itself is tough for the body to handle and on and off there are chills and a mild rise of temperature as the body tries to fight for survival. It is a strain on the body.
A new infection causing fever and chills would normally raise the temperature to much higher levels.
"In my son's case, the diuretices were no longer working
is there something else that could have been done to save his life?"
I'm sorry but there is no way for me to know the answer to your question. Was your son awaiting tp ?
Paracentisis is an option that is commonly used to control ascites in those who are resistant to diuretics. Even so, tapping carries some risks.
