Avatar f tn My doctor wants me to consider Sensipar. After reading up on it am more confused than ever. I do not believe I want to take this drug. Scan was negative but from research am not holding it to be accurate. Suggestions and thoughts greatly appreciated.

It was by using the above calculator that I was able to find out that my GFR had actually dropped 40 points in 3 months' time rather than the 8+ points that I assumed it had dropped from the "greater than 60" result I was comparing to my new current GFR result of 53.
Avatar n tn Being treated for it all meds are sensipar, metropolal tartrate, famatodine, asprin 325mg, insulin 70/30, Gabapentine, hydroxyzine, reneval, advair 250/250. I may have missed one doing this off the top of my head but this is the bulk of it. She takes dialysis 3 days a week also. Please help this is messing with her breathing and her mood.
Avatar f tn There are many people on Thyroid Chat that say that the ACCE guidelines that state subclinical would be TSH over 10 with normal t/3 t/4 or TSH 5-10 with normal t/3 t/4 and goiter or antibody are outdated and todays guidelines say that TSH should be at 1 or at least below 3 EVEN with normal t/3 t/4.
Avatar m tn I am trying to get something in writing to show that this decision does not follow within the accepted guidelines for treatment of his form of Hepititis. I believe the Dr. in Az. may have made this decision not realizing he did not have a 12 week blood sample. My son is 43 years old and in otherwise good health. He has not had any symptoms of Hep C nor has he had any side effects from the treatments.
Avatar f tn oh my parathyroid. Several labs show pth and tsh are normal. I was put on Sensipar for 10 days which barely lowered my calcium. Calcium ranges from 10.3-12.8 depending on the day, and ionized calcium 6.6.... Also, LD-5 elevated, low creatine and proteinuria ....I've seen ent, endo, cardiologist, oncologist....now what? Any ideas?
Avatar f tn is there anyone who can tell us more about the new ATA guidelines ? according to their research, they are saying the standard treatment for hypo thyroid should be synthroid drugs, that they found none of the others work... well I was on synthroid for two years, it was not converting to t3... I felt horrible... then I asked my Dr. to put me on armour, and WOW it was like somebody turned on a light switch.. my thyroid panel levels all normal, feel like a million bucks....
Avatar f tn Hey. Here's CDC's updated testing guidelines stating that the test is conclusive 3-4 weeks sooner than their previous testing guidelines (6-8 weeks) http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/2014/HIV-testing-Labs-Flowchart.
Avatar f tn A position paper updating the AACE/ATA guidelines for endocrinologists in the treatment of hypothyroidism was released today. Seems not to have considered either the Danish or Italian studies on the benefits of T4/T3 therapy previously published in EJM, and published by NIH here in February. At least they suggest including symptoms in making a diagnosis. Interesting read, highly recommend. Here is the PDF link : http://aace.metapress.com/content/b67v7mk73g3233n2/fulltext.

It would be very difficult to come up with a complete list of accepted sites, since there are so many of them. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether it is liberal or not; the issue is following the guidelines, as in posting "current" events, being respectful, not attacking or abusing others, etc.
Avatar n tn Hopefully and almost sure you will be UND at wk 12 but as long as the viral load is under 1000 guidelines say continue on to week 24 at which time you must be UND. If not game over. Do you think your doctor is freaked out about the low platelets and doesn't feel you'll be able to continue? 19 is very low but I've seen people treat with 20's right through 48 weeks and platelets do bounce around.
547368 tn?1440541785 t mislead anyone to believe that the CDC is the only governmental agency to propose guidelines. Indeed many other agencies already have guidelines in place including the DEA and FDA. That's what makes the CDC "two cents" even more maddening to me. How many guidelines does this country need? It's pretty clear that pain management is highly regulated and over scrutinized. But y'all know my feelings on the subject! Happy 2016.
Avatar f tn I understand u r following américains guidelines but if you were in my country ans the guidelines were saying 6 weeks ? Would u follow the guidelines.
Avatar n tn http://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdoqi/gfr_calculator.cfm just plug in creatinine level, age and race.
