Re: HCV+ plus hypothyroid?

[Guest guest]

I

know one man whose brother gave him a part of his liver, but I don’t know

if he had hcv or another problem with his liver. Both were doing very

well last I heard, but I don’t go to those meetings anymore.

Re: HCV+ plus hypothyroid?

By the

way there was a television programme here in England recently about a

20-year old son who had donated part of his liver to his father who was dying

from liver disease.

It was

successful apparently and they did not state what kind of liver disease was

involved.

Anything

like this going on in the U.S.

Yes,

during tx, they checked my t-4 also. I’ll talk with my pcp before my

next thyroid check about what else he is checking besides TSH. He usually just

sends me a report that says Thyroid OK or not, without specifics.

Checking the T4 only tells you how much of this storage thyroid hormone you have in your blood. In order for this T4 to get into your cells and have any effect, it first needs to be converted from T4 into T3 in your liver.

And therein lies the potential for a problem because my T4 does not convert well because of the HCV,

A full thyroid panel will give TWO antibody tests and these are essential for anyone with HCV as autoimmune antibodies are found with regularity in people with HCV.

I am interested in finding out more about this though I would be more than a bit trepidated about asking my son to donate.

More info is required first. It is an interesting option though wouldn't you say?

I noticed some posts about RA and this can be connected to hypoT also.

Not everyone with HCV will develop hypoT obviously but the numbers are high enough to warrant a full investigation.

Ditto RA.

Hi, mari3jacks. I'm VickieG, aka: onelildeltagirl. I'm new to the group also. Just started treatment with my second shot of Pegasys July 3rd. Firt time to shot in the stomache. Ha! Well, I survived. It only took about 12 minutes to get the nerve up and find just the right spot. Ha! Ok, now I'm an old veteran at shots into the stomache and thigh. This answer is late because I have been away from the satelite. that's a side affect of traveling from TN, to MS to GA, etc. etc, etc. So far, only sides I am having are tiredness and some fever. Well, I do have a stiff back from staying in bed watching movies all day on the 5th. The bed in the boat in NOT comfortable and It will take weeks for me to get my back from hurting. Hugs to all.
