Robert Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've discovered that canned fruit doesn't cause pain, but chocolate is quite the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cominus Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've discovered that canned fruit doesn't cause pain, but chocolate is quite the opposite. Is the can fruit in heavy syrup or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 It is. Also, I can have salad. Soft drink / orange jiuce are fine as well. Maybe I can become a vegetarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krosigrim Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Robert... you'll be fine. Doesn't mean I wont pray for you... but this will pass... (Uhhhh... not intended to be a pun) Eat lots of greasy food, and drink lots of coffee. But for real, it's probably best if you drink mostly water. And never... EVER joke about joining the vegetarians!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVER joke about joining the vegetarians!!!!! Yes, being a vegetarian is bad, despite what they think the human body REQUIRES meat proteins.I don't care if people do it, but when I meet/learn of vegetarian parents who force their toddlers/children to be vegetarians I wish I had a gun........... And don't get me started on vegans, those people are just plain f**ked up and retarded. Though the more of them that exist, the cheaper my meat prices are (Supply and demand!), so for anyone reading..........feel free to become a vegetarian/vegan!

Robert Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 The constipation fixed itself on Tuesday morning. The first diagnosis is in, I have Chronic Kidney Disease. The filtration rate should be >90, currently at 60.When it drops to 30 a new kidney is required. So, looks liked I am fukked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wait till you get another opinion. Secondly... Hmmm. alternative medicines. Perhaps I can look into this matter and see what I can dig up. I have a source of knowledge in this field, and I'll get back to you when I get an answer or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Holy shit, I just finished that lecture. That's borderline stage 3 CKD. Hopefully you don't get any uremic symptoms (show at stage 5 or 6 when GFR goes below 15-30). Belth, GFR is not something you really need to wait around for another opinion. It is what it is. They probably did a iothalamate or inulin test. Now they'll check his Vit D hormones as well as his parathyroid, check for anemia, and do a host of lab tests. If there is any hypertension then that will have to be aggressively managed and if you don't then they'll probably do something about blood pressure management anyway because that is the number 1 risk for disease progression.

Robert Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 They did a whole heap of tests already. They tested my urine and my blood. My blood pressure is normal.For you Gryph, this is what was tested (number in parenthesis are normal values): Normal results: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Anion Gap, Urea, Creatinine, Bilirubin, AST, ALT, Alkaline Phosphatase, Protein, Albumin, Globulin, Calcium, Corrected Calcium. Abnormal results:eGFR: 60 (>90)Urate: 0.52 (0.18-0.42)GGT: 62 ( In the sample, proteins, white cells and red cells were present (should not be there).Leucocytes: 74 (Erthrocytes: 60 (Haematuria, Pyuria and Proteinuria noted. Hopefully the red cells mean its just a stone that can be got rid of.Otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
