Fw: Thyroids/Sleep Apnea/Proteinuria

[Guest guest]

" There’s a dirty little secret most doctors won’t discuss with you. When a

medical test is done, any result within a wide range is deemed normal. Your

thyroid could be functioning at 30% of peak efficiency, but your tests will say

that’s fine. Well, it’s not fine. And you have the hair loss and the lethargy

and the weight gain to prove it. Taking an anti-depressant won’t do a thing for

your symptoms or your condition. But it will make the big drug companies very

happy in having yet another long term customer hooked on their products. "

This is an excerpt from Dr. , Senior Medical Advisor of the Women’s

Health Institute of Texas - a research and investigative facility dealing with

woman’s’ illnesses. I know some of you have complaints about side effects that

could be caused by your thyroids.

What is the current understanding about the prevalence, risks, diagnosis, and

treatment of sleep apnea in patients with chronic heart failure? This has been

a recent topic, so I thought it would garner some interest.

" At least half of all patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) also have the

disorder sleep apnea, according to epidemiologic studies. This combination can

have major adverse effects – sleep apnea promotes the progression of CHF and is

a risk factor for poor prognosis, and treating sleep apnea effectively has been

shown to improve cardiac function. Raising awareness of the dangerous

combination of CHF and sleep apnea, and improving diagnosis and treatment, could

therefore have a significant impact on health. "

WHAT'S IN YOUR URINE?

There's almost always some trace of protein present in urine. But when too much

of it is found, it could be proteinuria. There are vessels in the kidneys that

filter water and waste, but still keep protein and red blood cells in the

bloodstream. When these vessels, called glomeruli, are damaged or inflamed, they

allow for the passage of too much protein. When the excessive amount of protein

reacts with the air when you urinate, it hits the water and produces a foamy

urine.

What does it mean to have protein in your urine?

" It just means that some of the proteins you've ingested are being pushed out of

your body as waste. Well, you'll most always have some protein in your urine, as

trace amounts of protein are excreted in your urine as part of normal urine

production. The concern is when you have TOO MUCH protein in your urine or the

protein in your urine is too concentrated. This is a symptom known as

proteinuria.

" How can you tell when you have too much protein in your urine? One of the

tell-tale signs of too much protein is when your urine is very foamy, frothy or

bubbly. Another way to diagnose proteinuria would be through a urinalysis. "
