Avatar n tn Exelon patch is on back order from the manufacturer until October 24. What alternatives are there?
Avatar f tn t calming her down any, and she did not refil the prescription. 2 months later she had another bad dream and the doctor was notified. He then prescribed exelon. My question: If she does not have Alzheimer's disease, why would he prescribe either of these medicines for her? If this is dimentia, aren't there other drugs out there for that or even drugs that have a claming effect? From what I have read about excelon, I am not sure if it is compatible with her heart medication.
1382010 tn?1279643604 In rare cases, increased pressure in the portal system can be caused by internal or external obstruction of the portal vessel, resulting in portal hypertension without cirrhosis. Examples of this can be a mass (or tumor) pressing on the portal vessels from inside the abdominal cavity or blood clot formation in the portal vessel obstructing the normal flow and increasing the pressure in the vessel (for example, the Budd-Chiari syndrome).
Avatar f tn That actually sounds pretty decent. It's important that the damage is minimal around the portal vein. You can actually google phrases and get good explainations of the bvarious terms from medical dictionaries online. Did they give you a 2 number score, like 0/1 or 1/2, something like that? The first number gives inflammation and the second rates for fibrosis (scarring).. Most use a scale of 0 (no damage) to 4 (worst damage).
Avatar n tn My husband has been prescibed the the 9.5 exelon patch but we still have a supply of the 4.6 patches. With them being so expensive can I use two of the 4.6 patches at the same time until we run out?
Avatar m tn can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?
Avatar f tn -If Encephalopathy is suspected, then also suspect is associated cirrhosis, and portal hypertension? But USG says No portal hypertension. -What could be the reason of high ammonia? Will long term smoking cause ammonia to increase? -Do High ammonia levels not reflect/ co-relate in associated blood reports of kidney and liver? All my other blood tests are normal.
570460 tn?1216949965 Hi. Portal vein thrombosis, if left untreated can cause blood to get dammed back to nearby blood vessels, such as those around the esophagus. These vessels get engorged with blood, swell and become more prominent (they're called esophageal varices). Some of these blood vessels may eventually burst and cause a lot of bleeding. Blood going through the portal vein eventually end up in the liver, where waste material and toxic substances are processed into less harmful substances.
Avatar m tn I recently was reading several posts regarding biopsy findings, including such terms as "portal to portal bridging" etc. I was trying to find some decent sites on the web that might have a good description of the liver, along with diagrams. Then when I read biopsy findings, I should be able to "picture" what they mean. I found a couple sites, but they were either so highly technical medically that I lost interest in 20 seconds, or the pictures were poor, etc.
Avatar f tn Get treatment. Sooner the better. If you don't damage will continue to occur. Put it this way, the longer you wait the more damage your liver has to recover from if treatment is successful. Do it while you are younger and stronger and presumably healthier than you might be years down the line. Who knows what happens tomorrow. http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Hepatitis-C/Hepatitis-C--Genotype-3a/show/90804 read the posts from this very same web site. Says 80% chance to clear, 24 week treatment.

Avatar n tn She has since tested negative for H Pylori, and has been taken off Razadyne(24 mg ) for memory problems, put on Exelon (6mg patch), then taken off it after two weeks and more nausea. She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Still puzzling and frustrating. doctors are stumped (still) and I am feeling worthless because I cannot help her kick the nausea or find the cause. Really looking for help here. Any will be gratefully accepted.
Avatar m tn Hello, My father ages 65 has been diagonised with alcholic liver cirrhosis, frank ascites, portal vein 7mm and enlarged spleen. He has had approx 10 litres of fluid in his enlarged stomach and swollen feet. Fluid from the feet has gone away but stomach is still enlarged.

Avatar n tn If it was a physical, this is now done usually on the internet on a web portal run by the practice. Also know that creatine, or creatinine, doesn't just test the kidneys, it's also a test of muscle problems and inflammation. In the doc's report there will be a range. If you want to know the general range, I will tell you that info isn't consensus. Most don't think it's a problem unless it's very high, whereas others react when it's just out of range.
Avatar m tn no need after 6 month becuuse i see this in cdc web side How long after a possible exposure should I wait to get tested for HIV? Most HIV tests are antibody tests that measure the antibodies your body makes against HIV. It can take some time for the immune system to produce enough antibodies for the antibody test to detect, and this time period can vary from person to person. This time period is commonly referred to as the “window period.
1008841 tn?1293598960 So you are already taking 10mg of propranolol for your portal hypertension caused by your portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Propranolol is the most commonly used drug for portal vein obstruction. Combined with endoscopic banding treatment they are the standard first line of treatment. Do you know why she don't just increase the dosage? Now she wants to add another beta blocker in addition to propranolol? Has your doc talked to you about anticoagulation therapy?
Avatar f tn hello and how are all of you today? I have just found out that I have portal hypertention. I had hernia surgery 3 wks ago and my dr says ( she shuddered when she said this) I don't want to go back inside you because your vessels are so HUGE. She also said for me not to strain or even become constipated cuz I could rupture one and could maybe hemorrhage to death..... I am so scared. Is there anyone in the group that has gone thru this and maybe can give me some good news?
Avatar m tn When there is increased pressure in the portal vein, it causes a backflow of blood and in places where the portal and systemic veins anastomosis is there they engorge or swell up. The sites where this happens is the lower end of esophagus, around the umbilicus and in the rectum. Thia back flow also causes the enlargement of spleen. So, an effect of portal hypertension are the varices and splenomegaly. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn The doctor says my Hep C has minimal activity right now and my test result is portal fibrosis. Can anyone tell me what that means?
