desmopressin for hemophilia

I have Hepatitis C with Hemophilia-a. I was wondering if I should be taking Centrum Silver? This is the only Centrum that does not have Iron. I was taking regular Centrum that did have iron while I was on treatment. Also are there any other good vitamin supplements?

My father had a brain tumor removed and now has to take a nasal spray called Desmopressin. His endocranologist only wants him to use it one time a day, but the problem is he goes to the bathroom sometimes every 15 minutes!!!! He is also on 1/2 mg of Dexamethasone and that's part of the problem. Sometimes he takes two puffs a day but the doctor doesn't want him to do that daily.

Tests like bleeding time, clotting time, Vit K level, platelet count etc would need to be carried out. Also specialized tests like that for clotting factor deficiency, thalasemmia, hemophilia, liver diseases (by liver function tests) etc will need to be done. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral to aa hematologist. Take care!

t mention in your question what medication you were taking. Commonly central DI is treated with desmopressin. Desmopressin works by limiting the amount of water passed in the urine. I don't know why you would suddenly notice a decrease in your symptoms after 34 years. I would recommend making an appointment with your regular doctor to see what might be causing this. Until you can be seen, it is important that you remain aware of your fluid intake and output.

Hello, I am 20 years old female and I wet my bed (urinate) at night sometimes. Can you suggest any logical explanation for this problem? I do not have any other health problems.

Hemophilia, another bleeding disorder, causes missing or defective factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B). Both of these proteins are important for blood clotting. Synthetic versions of these clotting factors can help treat hemophilia and reduce the risk of serious bleeding, including severe bruises. When a genetic bleeding disorder causes easy bruising, it is also possible that the person may bleed to excess or even experience life-threatening hemorrhages.

today the consultant gave me tablets called desmopressin acetate. i understand they reduce urine amounts. will try but cant see them working well. Any new ideas or anyone with same prob please help.

m assuming youre on something for your hemophilia? If not I know they can give you a clotting agent. Just get on either you or your partner doing the perineum massages..

Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/557217'>peuatrygland diabetts</a>.

t see me until I saw a hematologist/hemophilia center for a hereditary disorder I have. Saw the hematologist. They want mri's of my lungs and brain to rule out a bleed, and a bubble echo to rule out a hole in my heart (can happen with my disorder). They want to do all of this with the mf specialist appointment in one day. #1 I have to travel 2 hours to this place. #2 because I get so exhausted so fast they thought getting it done all at once would be easier.

DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet. Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men). Check with your urologist about the possibility of this treatment. Best of luck.

This has been a long time coming. Thank you for posting this article. Hopefully, in the near future they will do the same for Hemophiliia A. My son and brother had Hemophlia A. My son was in phase one and two of the gene therapy trial years ago. Eureka is right this can open many doors for other diseases as well.

These conditions include hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and pigmented villonodular synovitis. All of these conditions all blood to accumulate within the joint causing swelling and pain. Several conditions can cause bleeding within a joint leading to joint inflammation, or arthritis. I did't believe his words,after that I go through google and found a review site "joint health magazine". This site clarified all of my doubts.

I had so many obstacles (HIV, cirrhosis, hemophilia, low platelets, chronic nausea, 35 lb weight loss, a painful kidney stone, and an unsupportive spouse soon to be an ex spouse). I only missed a handful of workdays mostly for appts. For some reason the last week was the hardest side effect wise. Wish you all healthy and happy futures. I'll check in from time to time.

I tried Effexor for only three days when it was given to me to treat migraines and I couldn't tolerate the side effects. Don't remember now what all they were- just that it was intolerable for me. It wasn't given to me for POTS- it was before I was diagnosed with POTS I tried it.

Your symptom of nose bleeds may also indicate a bleeding disorder. The causes for bleeding disorders are hemophilia, von willebrand's disease, immune disorders, leukemia, aplastic anemia and scurvy. The bleeding can also be due to liver disorders, certain medications like blood thinners and non steroidal anti inflammatory agents. This can be detected by blood counts and bleeding and clotting time. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.

I hope there is something to this gene therapy for hemophilia because that would be very exciting. You are inspirational. Thanks for posting.
