Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 If your husband is on the SOC then it will be because of the ribriviron.  It will cause the  red blood cells to become depleted. ________________________________ To: livercirrhosissupport Sent: Friday, March 2, 2012 1:39:10 PM Subject: Re: Low on Blood?  Low hemoglobin > > My husband received a blood transfusion today, 2 pints, because he was low on blood.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Kim, I am being treated for anemia. Sometimes it isn't a matter of losing blood, but rather of not making enough of it. My red blood cells are irregularly shaped, an indication that I don't have enough blood to make them round. They just float around in the blood stream, and get pulled out of shape I believe.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Dear Kim, My loved one was always a couple of quarts low in the last year of her life. Taking her the the ER was a guarantee that they would admit her, because her hematocrit was always low. It is technically called anemia. Low red blood cell count. The reason was speculated by the hepatologist that she was leaking from collateral veins in her stomach and esophagus. They always did EDG scopes on her to place little rubber bands around the ones they could see in her esophagus, but her stomach was another story. Apparently it is much harder to get to them past he duodenum. The theory goes something like this: The portal vein system is clogged up by scar tissue in the liver, so the blood builds up pressure in the veins of the gastro tract. This is why people get varicose veins on the belly button, called a caput medusae. They are called varicies and can be present in the esophagus, stomach, rectum, and even the umbelicle, wich is re-cannalized, or reopened up because of this abnormal high blood pressure. It is called " portal hypertension " and is the reason for ascites, and encephalopathy, and enlarged spleens, hepato renal syndrome type a and most of the other complications in cirrhosis. I am really sorry for what you are going through at UTMB. It is not your faulty at all. If your husband had been taken in to the transplant program, he wouldn't be subjected to this attitude at all. I found this out totally by accident. Ardis was a general patient at DHMC in Denver,Denver health medical center, which is the large teaching hospital in Denver, Colorado.. The doctors work at both DHMC and UCHSC, and University of Colorado health sciences center interchangeably. Dhmc is a terrible place, while CU is wonderful. Still, the 8th floor at CU is better than all the rest, because you go from 12 doctors to one. A hepatologist. The are sweet, and do not make mistakes at all. I want other reading this to get this point. When you or your loved one are evaluated for a transplant, even if you arent going to get a transplant, or have doubts, or whatever, they will be treated differently in the transplant floor and clinic than the regular clinics and floors. It is a fact. I had the same problem as you do Kim, with 12 different doctors treating Ardis. They didnt all know what they were doiong for her, one of them was so so happy that her edma was all gone, and ordered her medication changed. I pulled up her gown and showed the doctor that the edema had settled in her butt and hips. She weighed 90 lbs and had a butt like J-LO, and the doctor gasped, and changed her meds back, and even increased them! Ardis and I were howling we laughed so hard when the doctor left the room. She had such a look of shock, and was mortified to over look such an obvious thing. My heart goes out to you Kim. You are doing the best you can.                 Love, Bobby ________________________________ To: livercirrhosissupport Sent: Friday, March 2, 2012 12:22 PM Subject: Low on Blood?  My husband received a blood transfusion today, 2 pints, because he was low on blood.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I had an appointment with my hemotologist last Thursday, guy in charge of trying to fix my anemia. When I asked if it could be related to the liver cirrhosis and kidney failure, he said, Your cirrhosis isn't that bad. I guess I had forgotten to tell him my cirrhosis state is not reflected in my blood work. When I told him that I had two biopsies showing I was in end stage liver disease, he said but that means you are dying. And I don't look as if I am dying. I had to inform him about compensated and uncompensated cirrhosis. Now he thinks my anemia may be caused by varices constantly leaking and is going to get my gastro to do an endoscopy. I tried to explain that it can also cause bleeding in other areas such as the rectum and asked about a colonoscopy which I usually have at the same time, but couldn't educate him that much. I have had minor bleeding through the belly button, but lasted such a short time and of such a small volume, I have never said anything to any of my doctors.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 It is that kind of medical personnel that have killed me by not looking at my complaints as a whole. I was at ER a few weeks ago and the Triage Nurse told me that low platelets don't cause bleeding, low RBC do! My platelets are 89! > > Dear Kim, My loved one was always a couple of quarts low in the last year of her life.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Jan I think you need to do a search on portal hypertension and take the info in to your doctor. Sounds like submucosal hemorrhages in your colon to me. (I am no doctor of course.) Jackie Low on Blood? > > > > My husband received a blood transfusion today, 2 pints, because he was low on blood.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I figured I would wait and fight that battle with my gastro who knows more about it. So many people around me complain about being sent from one doctor to another, why can't I just have one doctor do everything for me sort of thing. I try to explain to them that there is so much knowledge out there today that no one doctor could know it all. As for hemorrages, I had both a colonoscopy and an endoscopy about 2 years ago after I started being anemic, and the only thing which showed up was h pylari in my stomach. Had eaten holes in my stomach and I was bleeding in the cavity between the inner and out part of my stomach. After it was cleared up, my anemia didn't really change. I just wish my hemo would do a bone marrow to rule out a problem there. He was going to, and that is why my neph sent me to him in the first place. Of course I don't want a problem to show up, but this way we don't know. They said it would be 6 seconds of excruciating pain. I can stand 6 seconds of anything if it moves me on by finding or eliminating things.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Jan A fellow that I know here, has gone over 15 yrs now with the ESLD diagnosis. End stage is just a term for - your liver is not in good shape and has too much cirrhosis. But, like is the case with Hep C, if you get rid of the virus, there is a big chance that eventually you will not have to worry about it. Even though I was likely in early stage of ESLD, apparently the damage wasn't too much to do the liver resection. Mmm I actually wanted to ask the surgeon how much good liver was left. But, since he had a bedside manner of a goat, I knew I wouldn't get the answer anyway. ________________________________  I had an appointment with my hemotologist last Thursday, guy in charge of trying to fix my anemia.
