Have you heard of LFT? Generally speaking, no. Liver Function Test, or LFT, is what it stands for. How well your liver is functioning is determined by a blood test. Elevated liver enzymes are frequently an indication that your liver is unhealthy and that you should get an LFT.

[cncpathlabs]

A blood test called a liver panel, sometimes referred to as a liver function test, evaluates the overall health of the liver. This type of test looks for several proteins, enzymes, and other substances made by the liver. One blood sample is used to evaluate them all at once, and albumin may be present.

If you have symptoms like weariness, poor energy, an elevated heart rate, chest pain, or vertigo, your doctor may have advised you to undergo an anaemia profile test. This blood test evaluates the levels of folate, serum vitamin B12, and iron as well as vital blood markers that can detect anaemia and reveal details about its possible causes. You can schedule an appointment online at Masmedi and find local laboratories near you where you can perform the test.

HELP A TRANS WOC IN INDIA TRANSITION

@dalitqueerinframes:

Hello, I am Shailesh (Chosen name will be Shalini after surgery) My pronouns are She/They. I am a trans person living in male body and I want to transition to fit into my right female body.

When I was young, I used to ask my father if I can become a girl, and foolishly he would tell me, by morning I will change into a girl. Time and again I have waited for that moment to come, but it never arrived.

The process is not an easy one. My body, my lifestyle, my very day is going to change, and for that, I need your help.

I wish to undergo the transition process (I hope you have watched Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui?)

For that I need to first go through HRT treatment. Which will allow my body to change, get into shape of a body as female.

I am required to visit psychiatrist and do my MMPI and RDR test done for my GID (Gender Identity Dsyphoria certificate)

Once that is done, I will require to visit an endocrinologist to run my blood test and check the level of testosterones present in my body. Accordingly, as my result will come out, I will be prescribed Estrogen meds, preferably I choose to go with Estrogen cream.

My journey doesn't end here, rather it starts here, In every three months I will be required to do my kidney and liver functionality test.

My therapy will go on as it goes now, except that, I will be required to visit my psychiatrist and endo every month, or once in a while for my improvement.

With this, I need to get LASER HAIR REMOVLE treatment. I have scars on my face, hence, the money will go there to go through laser treatment to get rids of those scars.

I know if may feels I am talking too much things here, but please understand that to become something that I wish to be, comes with cost, and I am not someone who can afford it. Hence, I also want to bring your attention to my teeth structure. I want to go undergo braces treatment too. And I hope you all know what it costs are?!

Last, but not the least, the main thing- MY SURGERY. Once I complete my HRT treatment for at least a year, I will have to go through GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERY. There are different type of VAGINO PLASTY SURGERY and from them I wish to go through SIGMOID COLON VAGINO PLASTY surgery. It is costly and a invasive surgery.

It costs around between 4 to 5 lacs. And the best doctors are in Delhi I am told.

I stay in Mumbai, to visit Delhi, to go through the surgery process, to stay there and wait there to recover will cost money.

I hope you understand my feelings and I hope you come forward and help me with what you can afford. I hope you contribute what is possible for you, I hope you share my fundraiser.

Please can you be there for your another trans fellow?

Thanks!

Hello. I am back. I am stressed, but under significantly less stress. Immortality on my brain, words are foggy rn. Buckle in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They hadn't noticed how bad it's gotten. It spread over their flesh now. Immortality comes with a cost of living indefinitely, at losing everything. Yet no one dares to think about how it does not necessarily mean immunity.

It had been a long time for Perkeo. Not even they knew when they first came to be. Time stretched and blended together when you have no use for counting it. Counting was for those who didn't have enough time after all.

But now Perkeo sits at home. Unable to do much else. Their skin had darkened significantly, changing dulling into a slightly greyish colour. The flesh sat heavily on their frame. It had gotten oh so bad. How could they have not realized?

They could feel it writhing under their skin. The sensation shooting shivers up their spine, only with the few nerves that were left undamaged. They groaned as they felt their abdominal muscles and organ walls give way, shifting out of place. It started from the inside out.

They couldn't even muster the strength to call in sick today. Well, they probably wouldn't have this position for much longer anyway. Oh, the boys will be so disappointed. You were really glad to have spent at least this much time with them. Heh, you were worried about finding someone who you wouldn't have to worry about 'having enough time'. The joy un finally discovering them must have distracted you.

You felt it years ago, but now? Now, there is no turning back. As your stomach acid pools in your gut, shredding the rest of your organs. Muscle tear with every slight movement you make. It hurts, so badly. No blade or arrow ever left you feeling like this. No other 'death' had ever left you trembling like this. But you knew death was waiting for you.

Bones snap and cartilage disintegrates, tendons ripping, blood pooling. You struggle to keep your eyes open now. It's all too much. Your vocal chords are torn from the pained whimpering you wanted to scream. Perkeos organs started failing one by one. None leading to their death, unfortunately. Liver, intestines, stomach, lungs, heart. They continued laying, with barely holding onto consciousness. Their brain had not become dysfunctional, yet. Without the incessant beating of their heart, they were left in silence. Their thoughts were a quiet buzz filling their brain. Slow, but still there nonetheless.

They need you.

You should try to get up.

Hhhnngggg owwww.

Maybe you shouldn't even bother, they'll move on!

It hurts so much.

Atleast I got to spend a bit of time with them.

You never got to say goodbye.

Your thoughts dissipate as the rot takes over. Oh? Yeah, the rot. Your body, although resilient, couldn't deal with repairing itself constantly. Especially after extreme deaths. Ones where it would have to pull together your disfigured and scattered remains. So it did a makeshift job. Just for the time being. You ignored it. Eventually, it would take over, decomposing your body from the inside out. You had essentially been a living corpse lately, worrying Sun and Moon to no end. Well, now they wouldn't need to worry, Perkeo thinks to themselves. Their body had been put through so much, this weakend state was only necessary. It would be impossible to remain in perfect condition, despite its distaste for staying dead. It would eat itself apart, until it collapsed and could rebuild from scratch. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Flesh and bone crumbled away, only to reunite, forming a "new body". A refurbished one, one that will have longer till it inevitably collapses. Before it rebuilds itself again. Thought this process takes a tremendous amount of time, as well as trial and error. Struggling to recuperate itself, Perkeos life being a test of viability. They could die hundreds, if not thousands of times before it is completely functional. This could take up to a millenium to fix. Surely, going to be terminated from their current position before the process is complete.

Their brain agonizingly started shutting down, consciousness leaving them for what will never be the last time. Their flesh begins corroding.

If only they could have found their boys sooner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Basically Perkeos immortality doesn't mean immunity. They will pay the price with not only pain, death, and resurrection. But their body cannot physically take the strain of healing itself. So it found a way to cope. Rotting. Decomposition doesn't mean death, it's a cycle of life. They will make it back... unfortunately the dca may never see them again.

Imagine rotting from the inside out. Feeling your body collapse and corrode around you, as your mind screams for release. Your brain can't take it. But you can never submit to death. Feeling your flesh, thick with festering bacteria, sliding on your bones, feeling trapped in the skin falling off your body. Your insides dissolving into an acidic burning concoction, sloshing around with every slight shift. Your bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles shredding. Loosing the pretty voice so many of your friends throught the ages held dear :)

(What's bolded is my main idea, the rest is filler. I dont think it was written very well though.)

Hope you like it sunsun, I'm tired and my words don't sound right. I can't express my thoughts, but I hope atleast some of my thoughts came across.

Take a study break honey. Drink something warm, eat something healthy, go to bed, ily.🧡

Wait did I just write gore???

WHAT A HELL OF A STUDY BREAK THAT WAS HOLY FAZBEAR SUKI

I FREAKING LOVE YOUR BRAIN DO YOU KNOW THAT

I HAND YOU SMALL SILLY THINGS AND YOU GRAB AND BREAK AND TWIST THEM INTO A BLOODY AGONIZING PATHETIC MESS AND I LIVE FOR IT

ALSO THAT'S SO GODDAMN SAD WHAT

NOOOOOOO GIVE MY BABY THEIR FRIENDS BACK THEY JUST GOT THEM 💀

I GIVE YOU AN UNBREAKABLE TOY AND YOU FIND EVERY WAY YOU COULD POSSIBLY USE TO BREAK THEM, STARS

God imagine if they came to find you somehow

[tallymali]

Don’t know if anon or messages is the better place to ask this. I have friend that’s had uti for 2 months and you came to mind. Would you mind telling your Dr/clinic and the new and previous meds you’re taking? Did both meds work & the new is just cheaper or does new work better also? Thank You Tally!

Oh my god, I'm so glad you've sent me this because I wish more than anything that I'd known about this illness so early on in experiencing it. I have soooo much to say about this so you're absolutely welcome to DM me and relay any questions your friend has.

Okay first off I definitely recommend your friend joins the facebook support group: www.facebook.com/groups/ChronicUTISupportGroup/

Even if they dont use facebook, they should totally just make an account to join. I didn't use it either so I just made a blank profile with a fake name. As long as you answer the questions they send, the mods should let you in with no problem. I said something like "apologies for the blank account, I don't use social media but I was told this is the best place for support" and I was accepted super fast.

So, the clinic I go to is the Harley Street chronic UTI clinic. They don't have their own website but all their info is here: www.chronicutiinfo.com/treatment/conventional-medicine/uk-treatment/prof-malone-lee/

(That website is also an incredible source of info on chronic UTIs)

You have to go there in person for the initial appointment, which costs £250. First thing they do is take your pee and analyse it under a microscope to get a count for white blood cells and epithelial cells. Then you go to the doctor's office (there's a team of doctors that all follow the same protocol) and they discuss your symptoms, any previous medications you've tried, and any other health issues you have. They will almost always prescribe Hiprex and a long term high dose antibiotic. Hiprex is a urinary antiseptic, and it essentially reacts with the acid in your urine to create formaldehyde. Most of us take high dose vitamin C pills with the Hiprex to keep our urine as acidic as possible (high bacteria in the bladder can raise urine pH so we often need help in that department).

At this point they will give you the prescriptions and say you can take them to your NHS GP and see if they're willing to fill them on the NHS. My GP didn't want to get involved with prescribing long term antibiotics, but was happy to fill the Hiprex prescription. I now get my antibiotics from Pharmacierge. Their prices are cheaper than regular pharmacies and they work closely with the Harley Street team. My doctor now just sends my prescriptions straight over to them which cuts out a little admin for me.

After that initial appointment you have to have a follow up appointment every 3 months, which can be done in person or over teams. Either way, they cost £200. If you go in person they will do the pee analysis again, but it's not super necessary to do that to monitor your progress. Patient symptoms are the number one thing they use to decide your treatment. Basically as long as you're in pain, they will keep treating you (the NHS would NEVER). Not a huge amount happens at these check ups, but being on long term antibiotics is risky so they will ask you a million questions about any possible side effects, and switch your meds immediately if you're not tolerating them well. They also ask that you contact your GP and request a blood test 3 times a year to monitor your kidney and liver function. They might also ask for other tests depending on your symptoms and the specific antibiotics you're prescribed.

So yeah, the treatment kind of just boils down to: find the right meds. Take them until you feel completely normal again.

As for the specific meds, here's a list of their most prescribed antibiotics:

Cefalexin

Amoxicillin

Co-amoxiclav

Nitrofurantoin

Trimethoprim

Doxycycline

Oxytetracycline

Azithromycin

Clarithromycin

Pivmecillinam

Lymecycline

For me, before starting treatment under Harley Street, I'd been treated by the Urology Partnership. They prescribed me 3 months of full dose Nitrofurantoin (brand name Macrobid, super common UTI treatment) and I was almost symptomless during that 3 months, but when I finished the course the symptoms returned instantly at full throttle. From that point they would only prescribe me the half dose of Nitrofurantoin which was NOT cutting it. That was when I decided to move to Harley Street. Definitely would not recommend Urology Partnership to people dealing with a chronic UTI.

SO. I emailed the Harley Street clinic with an appointment request and they booked me in for the next week. At my appointment the doctor prescibed Trimethoprim, which is usually the first one they try with new patients. I took it for a little while, (around 2 weeks to a month, I don't remember exactly) but I was still getting symptoms that weren't letting up, so I emailed their clinical enquiries address to let them know. I'd mentioned at my inital appointment that Nitrofurantoin had worked in the past, so they took me off the Trimethoprim and prescribed the Nitro instead, with the note that I'd have to discuss it at my next appointment.

Basically, Nitro is a really good antibiotic but has some of the nastiest side effects and is also the most expensive. So at my follow up appointment my doctor said he was happy for me to stay on it to get my symptoms back under control but he'd like to switch to a less risky antibiotic in time.

So a few months later (June this year) I was switched to Cefalexin, which has some of the least side effects and is one of the cheapest. I've been doing really well on it and I'm really feeling optimistic.

This is all to say that treatment is easy in theory but requires a little trial and error to find the right meds, and then takes a metric fucktonne of patience. There's no set length of time for the treatment, but in general, the longer you've had the cUTI the longer it takes to cure. So if your friend does have cUTI and can get treatment quickly, it shouldn't take too long to cure.

I had mine for two years before starting with Harley Street, which is actually much shorter than the average patient. They frequently treat older patients who have been suffering for over 20 years. I've read a depressing number of posts in the facebook group from people in their 50s+ who have been able to live normally for the first time in their adult life thanks to this treatment.

Knowledge of this condition with the general public AND with doctors (even urologists?????) is basically nonexistent. The NHS and most healthcare systems will slap you with a wastebasket diagnosis (PBS/BPS/IC) and tell you to piss off and live in pain forever. I genuinely don't think I will ever be able to trust a doctor right off the bat to actually prioritise my health ever again in my life. The NHS is full of people who really do care and really do everything they can for their patients but as an institution it does not give one iota of a fuck about the wellbeing of the people it's supposed to care about. It's a big complicated systemic issue but there will never be a good excuse for turning away patients who need medical care to live normally.

If your friend or literally anyone reading this is interested in the more academic/scientific side of this whole thing, I'd definitely read Cystitis Unmasked by Professor Malone Lee. It's written for doctors so it's not an easy read for a layperson but GOD it's so eye opening and infuriating. Professor Malone Lee is the guy who created the Harley Street UTI clinic and I think he spent his entire life raging at all the pillars of incompetance that modern UTI testing and treatment is built upon.

[yellowgnomeboots]

Health stuff, feeling sad and despondent.

Over the years a couple of doctors have suggested I have chronic fatigue syndrome. None of them have done more that the standard blood tests - like iron, B12, liver function, white blood cells, you know all the fairly normal stuff.

Technically we don't know if I have chronic fatigue syndrome, but if I do then I need to avoid PEM at all costs to avoid getting worse, and therefore need to quit my job, stop going out, stop my hobbies.

This is a big ask when they haven't even tested for at least a dozen other problems I might have. But they're not going to test for them because they say it's unlikely I have them. They're happy for me to just have this fatigue and other problems my whole life so long as they don't have to do those tests.

At this point though I'd say I don't have CFS simply because I haven't managed to trigger a worsening of my condition which I would have expected by now given all the opportunities it's had to happen.

Seven Best Pancreas Transplant Surgery Hospitals in India

We might not have heard the name of ‘pancreas transplant’ as often as we have heard ‘liver transplant’ during our lives. The reason being that pancreas is an extremely sturdy organ and usually helps with the maintenance of a lot of essential processes in the body. Pancreas transplant surgery is carried out in many hospitals, and some of the best ones where you can attempt to get the process done are discussed below.

Diabetes Type 1 is also known to be an autoimmune condition where your body’s immune cells destroy the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It begins mainly in childhood. Juvenile diabetes or diabetes Type 1 can destroy most of the body’s functions if not controlled appropriately.

When this disease stops responding to insulin replacement, pancreas transplant is the only option by which the patient can be gifted a new lease of life. It is still one of the costliest transplant processes in the country and can cost you somewhere from two to twenty lakhs. The patient with diabetes Type 1 condition can survive healthily only when the pancreas begins to function again.

Do you have someone who needs to know more about pancreatic transplants. Or, is it that you are trying to search for some information yourself, for your kid or your loved ones? Let us then get into knowing which can be the best hospitals for pancreas transplant in India.

Foremost pancreatic transplant hospitals in India

Some of the most advanced centres for undertaking the pancreas transplant surgery for your child or your loved ones are listed below.

1. Apollo Hospitals, Chennai

It is one of the best pancreatic transplant hospitals in India. The hospital is completely equipped to carry out pancreatic transplantation. The patient’s pancreas is not removed, but the donor’s pancreas is added in the process. Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, pancreas after kidney transplant and pancreas transplant alone are a few types of pancreatic transplantation processes.

The centre facilitates all three forms of pancreatic transplantation processes. If a transplant is carried out in a ten year old patient, there is 80% chance that the patient would be alive till 25 years of age after a simultaneous kidney, pancreas transplant.

2. IKD, Ahmedabad

Institute of Kidney Disease & Research Centre (IKDRC) is one such organization in the country which is capable of performing the pancreatic transplant process in young diabetic patients.

The surgery requires some of the best hands and some of the best procedural arrangements which are entirely standardized with the hospital. Even post-procedural complication handling is one area which is tackled efficiently here.

The cost of doing the surgery here can cost you somewhere around 10-20 lakh INR.

Address: Civil Hospital Campus, Asarwa, Ahmedabad 380016, Gujarat India.

3. PGIMER Chandigarh

PGIMER Chandigarh is also renowned for being capable of handling pancreatic transplantation surgery. The modern diagnostic equipment, the surgery-related facilities, good medical expertise are few of the specialities which help in reviving patients from pancreatic ailments.

PGIMER can effectively handle the complicated process of review, regulation, pre & post-surgery care.

Address: Madhya Marg, Sector 12, Chandigarh, 160012.

4. Fortis, Mulund, Mumbai

Fortis Group is also effectively helping patients undergo pancreatic transplantations. Modern amenities required to perform this kind of complex transplant process is now available with the hospital. The patients are suitably triaged, and appropriate diagnostic tests are run. For those patients who have a no response curve to insulin often can live if their pancreas is transplanted.

Sometimes the whole pancreas is transplanted from a dead body, and on other times, a part of the pancreas is grafted from a living donor. It is critical to regulate and frequently monitor the patient’s condition, and they need to be on regular drugs to prevent pancreatic transplant rejection.

5. Gleneagles Global HospitalsChennai

This hospital is capable of handling appropriate pancreatic transplant procedure which is still in its nascent stage in India. Not many have undergone this procedure yet, and not many are opting for it due to economic and social constraints.

However, this is an excellent organization to go with if you are planning a pancreatic transplant for someone in your family.

6. Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kerala

This hospital is known to be an expert in handling pancreatic transplantation with ease. They have been into pancreatic transplantation and are now one of the big names in the health industry. They possess not only the expertise but also the required skills and appropriate procedural requirements for conducting the transplantations.

The organization has done successful pancreatic transplants in the recent past already.

So here is a list of all the best pancreatic transplantation hospitals where standard medical care is possible before and after the process.

Proper care is taken for the patients who undergo the pancreatic transplantation process, and it should only be targeted for those patients in whom the routine medical therapies cease to work.

If you have any further queries, you can drop in your enquiries in the shared drop box.

Have you heard of LFT? Generally speaking, no. Liver Function Test, or LFT, is what it stands for. How well your liver is functioning is determined by a blood test. Elevated liver enzymes are frequently an indication that your liver is unhealthy and that you should get an LFT.

PET CT Scan Vs. MRI: Which Is Better For You ?

When it comes to diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions, imaging technologies like PET CT scans and MRI play crucial roles. Each has its strengths and specific applications. Understanding the differences between these two imaging modalities can help patients make informed decisions in consultation with their healthcare providers.

In Mumbai, PET-CT scans are a vital diagnostic tool used to detect and evaluate various medical conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders. This advanced imaging technique combines positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) to provide detailed images of internal organs and tissues. PET-CT scans in Mumbai are performed at specialized medical centers equipped with state-of-the-art technology, allowing for precise detection of abnormalities at the molecular level. These scans play a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions and monitoring response to therapy, ensuring comprehensive and personalized patient care in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai.

PET CT Scan: A Powerful Diagnostic Tool

What is a PET CT Scan?

A PET (Positron Emission Tomography) CT (Computed Tomography) scan combines two imaging techniques into one. The PET scan detects metabolic signals from cancer cells or other diseased tissue, while the CT scan provides detailed anatomical information. This combination allows for a comprehensive assessment of both function and structure.

Uses of PET CT Scans

Cancer Detection and Monitoring: PET CT scans are widely used in oncology to detect cancer, determine its spread (staging), and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

Heart Disease: They help in assessing blood flow and identifying areas of reduced blood flow in the heart.

Brain Disorders: PET CT scans can evaluate brain abnormalities, such as tumors, memory disorders, seizures, and other central nervous system disorders.

Advantages of PET CT Scans

Functional and Structural Information: PET CT scans provide both functional and anatomical details, making them highly effective in diagnosing and monitoring complex diseases.

Early Detection: They can detect disease at a very early stage, sometimes before it becomes apparent on other imaging tests.

Whole-Body Imaging: PET CT scans can image the entire body, which is particularly useful for cancer staging.

Limitations of PET CT Scans

Radiation Exposure: PET CT scans expose patients to a higher dose of radiation compared to other imaging techniques.

Cost: They are generally more expensive than other imaging tests.

Availability: PET CT scanners are not as widely available as MRI machines, particularly in rural or less-developed areas.

MRI: A Versatile Imaging Modality

What is an MRI?

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs and tissues in the body. Unlike PET CT scans, MRI does not involve radiation exposure.

Uses of MRI

Neurological Imaging: MRI is the gold standard for imaging the brain and spinal cord, providing detailed images of soft tissues.

Musculoskeletal Imaging: It is highly effective in visualizing joints, muscles, and ligaments, making it ideal for diagnosing sports injuries.

Cardiac Imaging: MRI can provide detailed images of the heart and blood vessels, aiding in the diagnosis of various cardiac conditions.

Abdominal and Pelvic Imaging: It is used to evaluate organs like the liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs.

Advantages of MRI

No Radiation: MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it safer for repeated use and for pregnant women.

Superior Soft Tissue Contrast: MRI provides excellent contrast between different types of soft tissues, making it ideal for imaging the brain, muscles, and joints.

Detailed Images: It can produce highly detailed images, which are crucial for diagnosing complex conditions.

Limitations of MRI

Cost: MRI is generally more expensive than standard CT scans but comparable to PET CT scans.

Time-Consuming: MRI scans take longer to perform, often requiring patients to remain still for extended periods.

Availability: While more widely available than PET CT, access can still be limited in certain areas.

Contraindications: Patients with metal implants, pacemakers, or claustrophobia may not be suitable candidates for MRI.

Choosing the Right Imaging Modality

Factors to Consider

Medical Condition: The choice between PET CT and MRI depends largely on the specific medical condition being diagnosed or monitored. For example, PET CT is often preferred for cancer staging, while MRI is the go-to for neurological conditions.

Patient's Health: Factors such as the patient's overall health, pregnancy status, and ability to tolerate the procedure play a significant role.

Availability and Cost: The availability of the imaging technology and the associated costs may influence the decision.

Doctor’s Recommendation: Ultimately, the choice of imaging modality should be guided by the healthcare provider based on the clinical scenario and the diagnostic information needed.

Conclusion

Both PET CT scans and MRI have their unique advantages and limitations. PET CT scans are exceptional for detecting and monitoring cancer and providing comprehensive whole-body imaging. MRI excels in producing detailed images of soft tissues without radiation exposure, making it ideal for neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. The choice between the two depends on the specific medical situation, patient health, availability, and cost considerations. Consulting with a healthcare provider Pet Ct Scan Specialist In Mumbai is essential to determine the most appropriate imaging modality for each individual case.

By understanding the differences and applications of PET CT scans and MRI, patients can be better prepared for discussions with their healthcare providers and make informed decisions about their diagnostic and monitoring needs.
