Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi , I agree with you and your neph - he's probably going to just keep an eye on things. As I said previously your labs are very very good - I'd switch with you any day! When I was first diagnosed I was spilling over 5 grams of protein and 3 of blood, therefore my neph ordered a biopsy immediately. Since then 1.5 years ago, my protein spill is down to approx 1400, my blood is still up there at over 2. I feel great and life is good! Take care.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hmmmmmmmm, not sure what you mean by that but I guess the answer would be nothing..... or just keep an eye on it. I don't think there's much he can do about it. It's too early for steroids I'm guessing. Is there something he should be doing?

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 you are right about it being early for steroids. With a spill of 0.5-1g the first course of treatment is ACE inhibitors and fish oil. My neph is thrilled to see me under 1g on a regular basis. Some doctors are looking at steroid use for low protein spills but it doesn't tend to be the norm outside of say Japan. Amy G.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi Amy, Yes, my doc has me on 10mg Lisinopril and I think I'm sprouting gills from the amount of fish oil I'm consuming. I guess that's all he can do for now.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi , In your previous e-mail you didn’t mentioned that your protein is treated with Lisinopril and fish oils. Since you are treated with it now everything should be ok for you.You don't need any steroids in this situation. Good luck.
