The creatinine clearance only improved significantly from the baseline value of 56.6 +/- 16.

1531001 tn?1292034237 If your Yorkie is in chronic renal failure she will require nursing care at home and may have to have in-hospital fluid therapy every now and then. Several days to up to 10 days of in-hospital fluid therapy and other care is often very helpful for those with chronic renal failure. It is the doggie equivalent of human diuresis. If the creatinine and urea nitrogen levels do not become decrease following the in-hospital fluid therapy the prognosis may be poor.
Avatar n tn Actually, on a serious note, there have been a number of articles and studies linking HCV with erectile dysfunction. In addition, the tx also has a very negative impact on erectile function. But, the disease itself often impacts erectile function. Here are just a few links: http://www.advisemen.com/182/hepatitis-c-and-erectile-dysfunction/ http://www.natap.org/2002/august/081402_1.htm (a pretty solid study) http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/hep_c/images/083002b.
3093770 tn?1389739126 As of 9/1/2011 the only known risk of NSF is in patients with renal failure in pre and post liver transplant patients. For us pre-transplant patients they measure our creatinine before each MRI to make sure our kidneys are functioning well enough before we receive an MRI with Gadolinium. For us with liver cancer it is critical that out cancer is monitored every 3 months with MRI and contrast as that is the best way to diagnosis hepatocellular carcinoma tumors.
Avatar m tn The greater the progression of liver dysfunction, the greater the impairment in drug metabolism. Patients with asymptomatic chronic liver disease without cirrhosis do not have liver dysfunction, and thus analgesic metabolism is similar to that in the general population. In patients with severe liver disease but not cirrhosis (eg, severe hepatitis), drug metabolism may be altered, and thus concerns and dose reductions, as discussed in this article, may be warranted.
Avatar f tn Before therapy, 37 percent of men reported at least some degree of impairment in sexual desire, while 44 percent reported dissatisfaction with their sexual life. In addition, 22 percent reported impairment in erectile and 26 percent in ejaculatory function. The average onset of sexual dysfunction appeared to be within four weeks of starting antiviral therapy, and many patients reported a gradual worsening over time.
Avatar m tn Prostatitis can have other symptoms like fever, chills, pus like discharge, etc. You can also have erectile dysfunction with chronic prostatitis.

Avatar m tn Non-pharmacological approaches for inducing reverse remodeling Long-term moderate exercise training has been shown to induce reverse remodeling in patients with stable chronic heart failure, and this was associated with significant increases in work capacity and peak oxygen uptake. Central and obstructive sleep apnea is highly prevalent in patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic left ventricular dysfunction and is associated with impaired prognosis. Sin et al.
Avatar m tn I'm sorry you're having some difficulty. Diastolic dysfunction is very common, especially as patients get older. It is heart failure, but it is failure of your heart to relax rather than to squeeze (the heart failure you're used to hearing about).

Additionally, depression increased during interferon therapy, a condition also associated with sexual dysfunction.
Avatar n tn My beloved Scottish Terrier who is age 5 is suffering from chronic renal failure. His left kidney has atrophied and the right is failing. She is now on a drip and antibiotics, renal failure this time possibly an acute episode triggered by infection. I hear that renal transplant is possible in USA and Canada.. Guelp in ontario?

In young patients psychological causes like lack of confidence, guilt, and anxiety are common possibilities. While in elderly patients physical factors predominate.
