1994720 tn?1352742233 ve read that it can be a sign of liver disease, blind loop syndrome, small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and/or malabsorption. Prior to the surgery these levels were always in normal range. Also, since the surgery and a sepsis infection that nearly took my life, I get severe nerve, tendon, and joint pain after eating primarily proteins and am exhausted all the time. I am sick of always being the mystery diagnosis patient!
Avatar f tn Ciprofloxacin, Avelox, Levaquin, norefloxacin, etc) cause, instead of choosing to diagnose each symptom individually?
3849996 tn?1348340157 Here’s a little of what will help to detoxify your liver. There is a non invasive “fibroscan” ultrasound that can determine liver damage. Only a doctor can tell you if you personally have done damage. I’ve heard that liver damage is mostly undetected until Stage 4 Cirrhosis. “Your liver has its own natural detox system — the liver and kidneys were designed to process chemicals and rid toxins from your body in the form of sweat and urine.
Avatar m tn I took a 7 day course of 400mg Avelox about one month ago (April 5th). I have had a good amount of tendon pain mostly in left achilles and in tendons on top and bottom of arch of foot as well as some heel and knee pain. Again, like I said primarily left side. The achilles pain has subsided some, most of the pain and discomfort now is in the foot.
Avatar f tn the risks seem high for liver toxicity and i am not getting that my dr. knows much about this combination. has anyone been in this situation? what to do?
Avatar f tn of their liver and didnt feel any problems. Would elevated liver enzymes or liver toxicity cause a change in the physical feel of the liver through physical examination?
Avatar m tn Hepatomegaly is a nonspecific medical sign having many causes. Which can be broken down into infection, direct toxicity, metabolic disorder, fatty liver itself. To tell you what precautions to take. I would say the first thing would be to stop drinking alcohol. Drinking will scar the liver more, causing worse conditions. If you are taking recreational drugs. You need to stop this too. There are some things you don't have control over.
12757438 tn?1433673730 So, I transported Belle from urgent care to her regular vet this morning. For her vet to inform me that although the urgent care addressed the toxicity and anemia- Belle is actually in liver failure right now. She doesn't want to overstress her so she hooked her up to an iv all day and I brought the extra blood from the urgent care to them. She did not need another transfusion today since her status has not changed.
Avatar f tn Please get a complete hormone panel ESH, LH, estrogen, progesterone and see if there is an imbalance. Hormone replacement therapy will help. With metal toxicity, certain chelating agents are given which bind with the metal and remove them from the body. Normal detox diet will not take care of that. It basically increases the antioxidants in the body. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar f tn He then put me on a Avelox for 10 days. During the Avelox course of treatment, I was coughing very hard over the sink in the bathroom and from my right nostril a huge liver looking clot came flying out and splashed all over the place my shirt was covered. It shocked me but then another of the same came out. I had a ct of sinuses the day before and I was very blocked . Next day along with green , came a strange orangey /yellow mucus came out constant for a day , then green again.
29837 tn?1414534648 Well, the dental association will lead you to believe that amalgam (silver) fillings are safe. There is no conclusive evidence up to modern day that verifies that. On Netflix, there is a documentary that shows actual mercury vapors coming out of a tooth filled with amalgam. I mention this because we don't need any more toxicity to the liver than we get from day to day food, drinks and so on. The alternative is composite fillings. Those are the ones that look like natural teeth enamel.
179856 tn?1333547362 Glad you are feeling better. New and improved meds are not always better for everyone. We can't assume our doctors know or remember every med we are taking and so many meds are toxic to the liver for us that have liver damage. "Patient be ware". Of course when we are ill and out of sorts that last thing we want to do is read the "Cautions" and "Possible Side Effects" on our prescription bags.
Avatar m tn Would like to try it but little concerned liver toxicity claimed by various articles online.
2121656 tn?1395674749 Thanks for the information. I didn't know that. I do know that a whole lot of transplant recipients were taking Bactrim in the early 2000's and I never heard of associated liver toxicity back then.. You said you'd taken Bactrim without any issues previously and that you only took Doxycycline 5 days and stopped on 4/23. Your liver enzymes were elevated pretty long after that. I trust Dr. Schiano's judgment but it still looks strange to me.
Avatar m tn More than 1100 drugs, herbal remedies, natural products, vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, and recreational and illicit compounds are known to cause liver injury......be very carefull about what you take, their source and make blood tests while taking them to check toxicity/benefit http://archive.mail-list.com/hbv_research/message/20101201.190417.3706e442.en.
Avatar m tn i see there are many advances on liver regeneration and new techniques to avoid transplants/repair liver transplanted or not maybe available by few years do you think the use of heptech supplements may help to keep liver and kidneys safe from ciclosporine toxicity?or very low chronic immune damage (i guess some chronic extremely mild damage is made by immune system over decades)?
Avatar f tn -( My Lyme doc has refused to prescribe either matronidazole or Levaquin as he says they are too heavy on the liver and have to many potential side effects. Yet I keep reading they are great for treating bart as well as lyme. I wonder if I should insist a bit more and keep on at him. What do you think?
Avatar n tn A biochemistry profile is a blood test that is performed to measure the liver enzyme levels, which are elevated if the liver is damaged. Additionally, this test measures kidney values such as the creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), which are elevated if acute kidney failure is present. Your veterinarian will likely repeat this test during the pet's treatment to ensure that the values are decreasing, indicating recovery from the toxicity.
Avatar f tn My gynocologist just told me that I need to stop taking it because it causes liver damage. I asked her if I could take Famir or Zovirax on a daily basis instead. She said no because all anti-virals cause liver damage. My husband does not have Herpes. I have a stressful job and frequent outbreaks, hence my interest in daily suppressive therapy. Do you agree with my doctor that I don't have any medication options? Is' it possible to take a lower dose?
Avatar m tn I have had a round of Avelox a few weeks ago and recently Omnicef 600mg/day for 10 days and still have discharge. Question, wouldn't these antibiotics be affective against NGU, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea? Thanks for the help.
1373852 tn?1307843048 I wake up at night wheezy,coughing up white or clear phlem . I also have chest heaviness and itchiness in the chest area. I feel like there is phlem stuck in my throat and my nose feels stuffed.When it is hot out I get these same symptoms.could this be asthmatic bronchitis or something else. I took antibiotics and they didn't help so the doctor gave me avelox(a stronger antibiotic)I am afraid to take it because there are so many dangerous side effects.
Avatar m tn An abdominal ultrasound is performed to evaluate the kidneys and the liver. An ultrasound-guided biopsy of the liver or kidneys may be necessary to determine the extent of damage to these organs or to confirm that Rimadyl® is the cause of the damage. Treatment Hospitalization is necessary to provide definitive treatment and may require two to five days.
Avatar m tn After trying Doxy, Azithromycin, and Flagyl, the only antibiotic that finally worked was Avelox. The question now is what I should treat my partner with. I know from my experience that my NGU was passed sexually, and she needs to get treated before we can have sex again. The problem, is that she said she is allergic to Avelox. Another problem, is that since it is NGU, we cannot test to confirm if the bacteria is cured, and she is also asymptomatic.
