depression test scoring

The Fibrosure blood test comes with two scoring levels. The Fibrosis scoring with anything >.74 results indicates Cirrhosis. A scoring of anything .62 indicates Severe activity with anything below <.17 indicates no activity. ----------------- The scoring level is the main concern as for whether it indicates Cirrhosis or not. Keep in mind this is just a blood test and not as accurate as having a Biopsy but is a pretty good indicator of either no Fibrosis or severe Fibrosis....

Is a score of 308 on a calcium cardiac scoring test an indication of coronary artery disease? And should this score prompt a CTA?

My primary doctor did a plain stress test and resting echocardiogram, and a chest xray. everything was normal. I decided to go to a cardiologist on my own, and he listened to me for about 4 minutes tops, barely checked my heart sounds, and instantly ordered a barrage of tests including Nuclear stress. I was alot more interested in a cardiac CTA. My question is basically this...

No, a calcium scoring test is done with computerized tomography and is not nearly as accurate as nuclear imaging. It is not considered useful if you are low risk or very high risk for heart disease. Nuclear imaging is preferred in most cases.

I'm afraid I used the wrong terminology. I meant to write "Calcium Scoring" done with Electron Beam Tomography (EBCT). The dangerous score is over 600. I am inquiring about a score of 140. What should be done for further testing, or is further testing not indicated in an asymptomatic patient with arrested Lupus?

What further testing should be done in an asymptomatic patient with a cardiac scoring of 140?

There are different ways of scoring, Metavir goes from A0 / F0 to A4 / F4 and Ishak scoring goes from 1 to 6 (if I'm not mistaken). It depends what system your doctor uses. Here in Denmark, as well as in France, they usually use the Metavir system.

Hi

based in a range of Metavir F0 – F4. This is for fibrosis scoring; necroinflammitory activity scoring is listed separately.

The CT angio would reveal blockages if they were truely there in someone of your age with good predictive value, however, I am not sure that I would go that far. I would have the stress test first. If the stress test is normal I would reconsider cardiac etiology for your chest pain and start looking for alternative explanations such as lung or stomach problems.

I just received the results of the Berkley Heart Profile. My father died of CAD at the age of 46. My mother had a coronary artery blockage that was repaired at age 75. I'm a 54 yr. old healthy female non smoker, low BP, 5'5''/128 lb.and live a healthy lifestyle (exercise and diet). My Lp(a) was 114, very high and a fibrinogen of 475. I also see that the LDL particles are primarily large. I plan on a stress test and obtaining a good cardiologist.

Since I have no normal symptoms, I began to inquire further about the results and my doctor explained that the number on the test ranges from 0.0 to 0.89. The number on my first test was a 0.5 and the number on the Herpeselect test was a 0.1. I have since done some research on this and it sounds like a score of 0.0 - 0.89 is negative, and not the range of the actual test as the doctor explained.

In regards to need for repeat calcium scoring, there is no current guidelines that I know of that would recommend biannual calcium scoring. Calcium scoring is a fairly new thing and different doctors use it in different ways. I would recommend having a discussion with your doctor about what other risk factors you may have for coronary disease. I hope this helps.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, long-term use and subsequent withdrawal of DXM involves symptoms such as insomnia, dysphoria and depression. DXM addicts also complain of itchy skin. The hardest part of DXM detox is the depression. The dissociative effects cause psychological issues with some recovering drug abusers such as psychotic episodes and night terrors. " http://www.thehillscenter.

with test scoring of 26% cardiac calcium, already on low-dose aspirin, lipitor for cholestrol, what else is suggested? How serious is this ?

Thank you but... I have never lost appetite COMPLETELY or had a genital herpes outbreak EVER!!! I'll admit I've been under the most stress and anxiety and depression I've ever experienced in my life but I guess I can't believe that stress causes those symptoms. I don't see it. I'll also admit that I've taken an online test for anxiety and depression and always score SEVERE on both. But this has never happened to me.

I have been trying to conceive for over a year and recently started taking fertilaid. Now i should have started my period on Feb 26 th but didnt. The home preg test was neg. On top of all that i think I have a uti now too. Is all of this a side effect of fertilaid. Has it messed up my cycle and given me an infection?

Hi all - I'm new to this forum, and considering decompression surgery for a 13mm herniation, which has caused headaches, neck and shoulder pain since age 13 (I'm 35 now). My surgeon recommends scoring the dura (versus a dural patch or graft). I've spoken with 4 patients who have undergone decompression surgery; all had a dural graft, and all had nausea and vomting for up to a week post-op.

Differentiation score is 3/3, nuclear pleomorphism is moderate to severe scoring 3/3, mitotic activity is focally brisk scoring 3/3, another area shows a possible area of ducal carcinoma in situ, solid type, high nuclear grade scoring 3/3. It also shows florid epithelial hyperplasia. So next step is bilateral MRI for staging and referral to surgeon. My question is what type of surgery is required, mascetomy? because of multiiple tumours, radiation or chemo.

Never mind. 3 min step test scoring is based on old and discredited 220 - age formula. DO NOT TRUST IT! You have to measure your personal maximum heart rate!
