That is what we are trying to find out but need more details.CE Grim MDYou are not looking at liver damage. You are looking at kidney damage. What scripts are you taking? Where is your blood pressure? Do you take it every day at home? Dr. Grim, could it be a result of uncontrolled HTN? Val From: hyperaldosteronism [mailto:hyperaldosteronism ] On Behalf Of Licia I could see if these results were twenty years ago then I'd say, yep. but I don't drinklike I did when I was in my twenties. dr's have never mentioned that and wouldn't thatbe relevant in the battery of tests and liver damage etc? It is a hyperactive aldersterone disease, issue, with me that is. Or else everyone that went to college etc would have kidney damage. Sojourn. Your creatinine is too high and your GFR is too low. What does your doctor say? I hope you are getting immediate medical attention.

[Guest guest]

So your creatinine has been 1.8 for 10 years?CE Grim MDI can go back ten years. It's really exhausting, those test were recently taken btwn Feb - May of this yr. When I look back tho through to 2001, it was still about the same. So what could have prevented, that because my pressure was soo darn high, maybe I should have had the adrenalectomy then. Now my kidneys prob, wouldn't withstand the operation. Jack ass Dr's. Excuse my French. How is a women of 28/with drastic high blood pressure not a red flag for something else? I wish I could sew these incompetent, laxadazicle(spl) half ass racist!! Whooo, now I feel better. Sojourn You have significant renal disease.

Almost certainly due to HN BUT do not have whole story. We need the whole story. Tiped sad Send form miiPhone ;-)May your pressure be low!CE Grim MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension

It would be great experience for me to learn whether such a low GFR is due to kidney damage, and whether such kidney damage is due to something like alcohol consumption or even alcohol consumptions of parents/grandparents....etc.

Max.

I have been going to specialists and general dr. I don't know what immediate medical

attention means. How much more immediate is taking about 2 scripts @ 3 & 4x's a day, iron, sembastatin, thyroid meds, vitimin B100 and A and A and D. and prescripbed vitimin D. What more do I need to be doing? All I know is I gained too much weight and that is pissing me off! I don't eat like a bottomless pit, so I know it must be water in me. Then when I read, it says it is dangerous to consume water. So frustrating. And I don't have all this time to stay in the dr's offices. I work at night ext. It is a drag. U think I need to take leave of abscene?

Thank you I was getting pissed off. And hope I didn't offend anyone. That was funny though the " half assed incompetent" I thought it was just a matter of a test to determine

if you have hyperaldontronism so why is that such a 20yr mystery? I'm keeping the faith. At this point, now I don't know what to eat. I printed out that dash book 2yrs ago and this weekend will go grocery shopping according to that diet. Thanks everyone.

What u print off is not the DASH book. I recommend you get the book it is $8 and is much better than the 60 page print out. Or you can get it from lib. Need to check with your Dr on DASH as it is a high K diet. This can be a problem with Kidney disease. Focus on low sodium first. I don't recall The details of ur testing. So still need your complete story to beable to make better recommendations. Tiped sad Send form miiPhone ;-)May your pressure be low!CE Grim MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension

Thank you I was getting pissed off. And hope I didn't offend anyone. That was funny though the " half assed incompetent" I thought it was just a matter of a test to determine

if you have hyperaldontronism so why is that such a 20yr mystery? I'm keeping the faith. At this point, now I don't know what to eat. I printed out that dash book 2yrs ago and this weekend will go grocery shopping according to that diet. Thanks everyone.

It always dumbfounds me when i read posts that sound like folks think that medical care is a right and that all doctors are to blame for not connecting all the dots to solve your problem. Educate yourself so you can help them, help you. That is what this forum is for. Most of us here have learned alot from the grace and generosity of Dr. Grim. The human body is extremely complex. Medicine is an art, as well a a science. You are dealing with other humans who are there trying to assist as many people as they can. They dont always get it right...as we all know first hand. I have had doctors from every ethic background working on my case. Racism has nothing to do with your diagnostic process and there is no place for it on this forum.

That said, I will assume you were being funny in your comment, so I am not offended, this time around. We all get scared when we are facing life altering conditions. Relax, be gentle, and become a sponge for the knowledge and wisdom you can gleen from this forum. I have personnally learned alot here. We are absolutely very lucky to have a retired specialist giving back to the world and possibly helping many here save their own lives. So, welcome to the forum and I hope it can provide you with some guidance to improve your life.

With all due respect, Sojourn, most of us here have had shoddy care. What exactly does race have to do with it? I am offended.
