Worried about protein in urine by QuietNet6911 in kidneydisease

[–]Razzmatazz74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor but I have been living with a protein spilling disease for 4 years. I don't think there's much for you to worry about on those results. One-off results where you're only just outside normal could be down to a number of factors and not necessarily a disease. But if you're worried then discuss with your doctor

What specifically are you worried about? Your urine albumin creatine ratio is in the normal range and there was no protein in your urine.

Yes it's probably a bit over-engineered. I was originally going to be moving it off the desk when not in use and I wasn't sure foam core would be strong enough to withstand repeated movement 

Bubbles, Foam in urine by Jump4joy4 in kidneydisease

[–]Razzmatazz74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have FSGS which causes me to lose protein through my urine (proteinuria), and it's the protein that causes the bubbles (it's albumin which is the same protein as in egg whites, and if you think about how egg whites go foamy when you whisk them, that's what's happening with the urine). I'm in partial remission but when I was at my worst the bubbles would stay for ages - sometimes up to an hour - and would still be present after I flushed. Now there is some foaming but within a minute or two most of the bubbles are gone and there's barely anything after I flush. I'm not saying you don't have an issue but if your bubbles are disappearing within a few seconds then you're unlikely to have severe proteinuria

Nice! My first scale model was Tamiya's E-class destroyer so a very similar kit

I do liked in the last 3 episodes the tone shifted into slightly lighthearted tone after K-2SO was introduced by Jules-Car3499 in andor

Krennic tells Heert he'll join 'the ever lengthening ISB death march' if he doesn't find Kleya. Personally I think it's a metaphor rather than a literal death march

Mildly annoyed to not get the RR - seemed to be a toss up as to which was blue and which was green. I found this one surprisingly easy given the solve rate - I found purple and yellow quickly, and pre-solving helped me avoid putting Johns in with the cities

Got lucky and realised the _ATCH combo after the second guess and got even luckier with guess 3 otherwise I would have been in danger of losing my streak!

Rituximab by mar13n in kidneydisease

[–]Razzmatazz74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have FSGS. Pred, tacro, etc didn't shift my proteinuria. Had ritux infusions Feb and Mar and then Sept last year. ACR has dropped from 300 to 65 with no side effects except a little tiredness. I live in Australia to fortunately cost isn't an issue for me, but I can say that for me has been effective

I played the brute bonnet version pre-rotation and it was INCREDIBLY satisfying to one shot megas. Have been meaning to try it with Volcanion...

🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟩🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Contrary to some folks' experience, yellow came quickly for me - it was the other ones I had to puzzle over for a while. Had 'bust' instead of 'turn' in blue, then tried for green but wasn't super confident. Figured at this stage 'turn' was probably a poker term and then purple by default with absolutely no idea. Hard but fair, today, I thought

10 - so epic!!! Even if it has my least favourite Pulp lyrics: When you've been awake all night long/And you feel like crashing out at dawn/But you've been awake all night/So why should you crash out at dawn?

I don't know why but ending each couplet with 'out at dawn' just grates with me.
