i wouldnt lower the tacrolimus dose further
After the first week the lab told us that there was a nationwide shortage of the necessary reagent and it would take an extra week for results. After two weeks they told us that they had the reagent and the sample, and we would have results in a week. After the third week they told us we didn't make it into the previous batch and it would take a further week.
thanks for your help,
8 weeks ago i was in a hiv clinic to be sure about the performance of some rapid test kits.
i gave some rapid tests to a nurse and she wanted to test a known hiv positive patient.
the stupid nurse asked me to assist her in testing that patient. so i applied the lancet gun on patient's finger and the nurse dropped some of her blood into the device while i held the device without any gloves on.

thanks teak,
but please suppose the tip of testing reagent tube had contacted the hiv positive blood in rapid test device, and consider that i used the same testing reagent (with the same container) 45 days after that day and the reagent touched my bloody punctured finger,,,again you say i don't need hiv test, am i right?
Does any component contain HIV protein which may induce seroconversion? With other words, if the reagent has contact with mucosa or goes to the blood, may it convert the subject to HIV positive?
The specialist reviewed all of the options with us - cyclosporine, pilocarpine or tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said that very rarely has she seen any dog respond to cyclosporine after not responding to tacrolimus. She also said that because our dog doesn't have a dry, goopy nose, that pilocarpine wouldn't be a first choice. She recommended a mix of tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said sirolimus is new. I have not been able to find anything about this drug on the internet.
What is HerpeSelect and I test twice ,but I don't know which reagent they use. and my test result has both IGM and IGG. I heard some people said that the HerpeSelect test is the best reagent to test herpes. and it don't have IGM on the laboratory sheet. they said it will only have IGG result on it, and any laboratory sheet with a IGM result of herpes is meaningless.
WOW!!!! You have struck a chord. I just found this forum for hep c patients on studies because I started one 5 weeks ago. However, I have always felt in my heart of hearts that it could be AIH. Reading what you posted back in April about edema (which I have...terribly) and I also got radiation twice for my overactive thyroid, I got a horrible case of Graves Disease. Then I was told I had HEP C!!! Has anyone ever heard if someone gets diagnosed as hep C and it is really Autoimmune Disease????
1) Do my symptoms suggest herpes or any other STD? Should I re-test for any STD?
2) The medications I took would have excluded STDs caused by bacteria?
3) Is the reagent HSV IgG test indicative of a recent herpes infection?
Thank you very much.
Does anybody get irritating itching around ankles, arms and elbows. All of sudden I get very itching on all mentioned areas, then it subsides. Hard to fall asleep, I didn't tell anyone but my immediate family. I am lucky that I can go work like nothing so I am glad I didn't tell any friends or co workers. I just don't feel like sharing and avoided all kinds of stupid questions and then getting riled up.
Manufacturer recalled current lot of ANA reagent. Quantitative autoantibody results to follow when reagent is received Hep2 Immunofluorescent slide result: No fluorescence seen. No fluorescence seen indicates a titer < 1:80 or the analyte does not produce a discernible fluorescent pattern. Titers: Titers start at 1:80 and continue to 1:1280. Pattern: Homogenous, speckled, centromere and nucleolar.
His cretanine is almost 1.4 or around. My question is that should he continue his TACROLIMUS tablets or should switch to some other tablets which are safe for kidneys?
Secondly , in my sorrounding there is an opinion that lowering the TACROLIMUS dose also let the liver enzymes to increase? Do you favour such opinions as my father has lowered his tacrolimus dose to keep his kidneys safe?
Sir ,will wait for your kind reply.
Thanks.
My wife is pregnant for 8 months and the last test was reagent (igg igm 3.50 and 3.70) but the two weeks ago were 0.5 and 0.4? these tests were made in different laboratories. and throughout this year was around 0.5 booth.
s hard to perform my job or other daily tasks when my eyelids are so inflamed. I guess steroids are the only option until they develop something better. Is Tacrolimus a promising nonsteroidal option?
The treatments of this condition are application of topical corticosteroids (betamethasone, clobatesol, flucinolone) which will reduce the inflammatory process. Topical immunomodulators like pimecrolimus and tacrolimus can be used in severe conditions.
I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Hormonal contraceptives such as the pill and the patch may increase the blood level of tacrolimus. Tacrolimus may also reduce the effectiveness of these hormonal contraceptives. For this reason women who could get pregnant should ideally use a non-hormonal method of contraception, eg condoms, to prevent pregnancy while taking this medicine. Seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
there are prograf assistance programs that the company offers. If this is not feasible than using other cheaper medications such as verapamil for example for HTN for example will alllow much lower doses of prograf to be used (it delays metabolism of the medication) and thus it comes out cheaper.
Dear Sir or Madam:
