My sister moved into a new house with her sons aged 3 and 5. We’re worried about lead poisoning in the kids. They’re due for their physical exams next week. The doctor can test for lead? If so, how much lead requires treatment?
Me and my boyfriend had sex for the first time at the end of December, (we used a condom which I’m pretty sure did not break) and I was on microgynon so I never worried about pregnancy. My next withdrawal bleed was possibly a day late and slightly lighter, but when this came I was reassured I was safe. Pretty much straight after this bleed, I had an accident on my leg which caused me to have multiple xrays and scans – I was asked if ‘there is any chance you could be pregnant?’ to which I answered no but it got me thinking again. Since then I’ve been having symptoms which I know can be brought on by me worrying about it. I took a pregnancy test just to be sure which came out negative (around 6/7 weeks after sex) I had to stop taking microgynon (with 4 left in the strip) on the same day due to needing surgery on my leg, and four days later I had a normal withdrawal bleed (like the others since being on microgynon) and when this bleed ended, I took another hpt (with my first wee of the day) which also came out negative. Could I still be pregnant or is it extreme paranoia? (I was taking the full doses of ibuprofen for two weeks due to my leg, I possibly developed a reaction to this which could account for some symptoms?) SYMPTOMS – Bloating, urinating little and often, slight nausea, gas, slight constipation.
For a week I have experienced a very sweet taste in my mouth. Every time I drink even water, it tastes very sweet. I have also lost a lot of weight. What could it be?

“I analyzed on the Hepatitis C a week ago. The answer was following : Hepatitis C-virus-RNA positive; Bilirubin total 0.6; ALT (GPT) 95; AST (GOT) 70; GGT 24. I also did Fibroscan and the result was 4.9. Blood examination and liver Doppler Ultrasound is according to the norm. I would like to know, what does these answers mean. Is this connected with the serious complications?” I asked you this question a week ago and you have given me very exhaustive answer,thank you very much for this,but I would like to know,according to these results,is there any inevitability of treatment with Interferon? Thank you in advance.

It is impossible to determine which patients will require interferon or ribavirin treatment for hepatitis C because the rate of progression fibrosis significantly varies among patients. You would need to trend your lab results, determine your viral load, and identify which viral genotype you have. Most patients do well with conservative management such as maintaining a healthy diet, adequate hydration, and abstinence from alcoholic beverages or liver-toxic drugs.

Approximately 50% of infected patients go on to develop chronic hepatitis C and about 50% of those with chronic hepatitis C do not respond to therapy. Genotypes 2, 3, and 4 have the most substantial rates of response to treatment.

The bottom line is that each patient is different and treatment should be initiated by your hepatologist or gastroenterologist after carefully considering your condition and goals of treatment.
