- kidneys and Mondor's

[Guest guest]

,

I'm very sorry to hear about your latest developments, especially about

your renal insufficiency. I hope that at this time your doctors will

collaborate and get serious about trying to reduce the number of meds

you are taking. With all those drugs in the picture, it may be very

difficult to sort out exactly what the problem is with your kidneys.

Here is a good article on drug-induced nephrotoxicity from Postgraduate

Medicine:

I'm wondering with a why the surgeon is in such a rush to cut your

breast.

Here's an interesting abstract on Mondor's disease:

> Thanks for the info a. My rheumatologists and primary care want me

togive them info on Mondors so i will tellthem what you found. The

breast surgeon still plans to cut it out. Tuesday i have to go back to

thehospital as i found out yesterday i am having renal insufficiency-i

hope its from methotrexate. my creatinine has doubled since september

and its now 1.7, my albumin and bilirubin are up too. i was looking on

my enbrel package and it said in rare cases it causes thrombophlebitis s

o im wondering if the enbrel caused the MOndors disease as i have had no

trauma to the breast since June 2000 from a bad car wreck.its a shame

that sometimes we have to figure this stuff out for ourselves.if anyone

has high creatinine would love to hear from you. after i have the

surgery for mondors disease i have to have eye surgery so 2003 is

getting off to a good start.
