In addition, when thallium-201 is injected into the blood during a stress test, the thallium rapidly leaves the blood by uptake in the cells of all organs and tissues in the body. Over time, the thallium eventually is excreted by way of the gastrointestinal tract 80% and through the urine 20%.

Avatar f tn Under conditions of high stress, the loss of available tyrosine to the brain results in one’s loss of interest, slower movement and a decline in physical health. Low tyrosine levels coupled with chronic stress leads to a decrease in enzymatic activity responsible for producing hormones. These influences affect the hypothalamus and adrenal glands which adversely leads to the dysfunction of the thyroid.
Avatar f tn I am so very sorry for your loss. Luckily it is very unlikely that the stress with cause you to lose your baby. I think the best thing you can do is to always take time each day for yourself to relax and also see a grief counselor. They are trained to help people through the loss of a loved one. They have both bereavement counselors and grief counselors. This is covered under most insurance or if self pay with no insurance it can be free or at reduced cost.

Avatar n tn Does this formular hold true when the patients LDL and HDL are low to begin with. My LDL went from 80 to 39 and HDL from 50 to 34. So, I have a 51% reduction from LDL lowering. My HDL decrease of 16mg would increase my risk by 32%? Overall is the reduction 19% (51 -32)? Related to this, I have heard that HDL was beneficial qualities besides reverse cholesterol transportation (anti-oxidant, anti-flamatory and anti-thrombotic). Does that mean that it does more than just counteract LDL?

Avatar f tn Six weeks ago I was diagnosed with TSH of 143 and T4 of 0.3 and put on 125 mcg of Synthroid.

But my dr wants to decrease meds to 75 in fear of putting me into hyper on the 125. Is this right?! Isn't the medicine in full effect already?

Avatar f tn Hello, I hope everyone is doing good today. I have a question that isn't about myself but, my younger sister. She found out she was pregnant July 29th. She went to the Dr and they confirmed she was pregnant and her hcg level was 300. She was having a little pain so they had her come in 3 days later and rechecked her levels, they were 1600.

Avatar m tn Insufficiency may cause symptoms such as bone loss, osteomalacia (in adults), and impaired Calcium absorption occurs due to very low levels of the vitamin. You did not mention your Calcium levels and suggest getting it checked. An intake of Vitamin D 400 IU is sufficient for your age. You should not go over that amount in supplementation.
Avatar n tn We need to have some clarification. Your first question asked about an increase or decrease while fasting (prandial) - "nothing to eat approx 9 hours beforehand". I answered this question with what is considered the normal value, 5.0 mmo/l. I apologize if this was insufficient information. However, between 4.0 to 5.0 mmo/l fasting is your goal.
