A post with dangerous misinlformation has ben removed. Pkease note that the subject here is a perslon with known chronic kidney disease.

It does vary with the stage so that needs to be estsblished first. Any other co-existing medical conditions will also be relevant e.g. diabetes. It is very important to control blood sugar if diabetic. If you go to the end of this site can click on the relevant stage for more info: https://www.kidneyfund.org/living-kidney-disease/healthy-eating-activity/kidney-friendly-eating-plan One commonality for any stage of CKD is to avoid excess sodium. Avoid processed foods (preservatives contain sodium), do not add salt or fish / soy sauce to food. And avoid good prepared with MSG, fish sauce, soy sauce, curry paste or most other Thai sauces. This last will rule out a lot of Thai foods. Once his CKD is staged, he should be given specific guidance in terms of how many gms of protein daily.

Please clarify if your friend is looking for implants as opposed to crowns (for which some of the tooth must still remain in situ) or a bridge? Implants are pretty exoensive in Thailabd and also requirr a good deal of time.

I doubt it was single handed. More likely done in consultation with her political rivals here in Thailand. I just hope that, having served its purpose (on the Thai side at least) the "border issue" (sic) with Cambodia will be allowed to fade and things normalize. .

Anemia does not cause blood in the urine. Low platlet count can, so can many other things as previously pisted. Staff at labs are not reliable sources of information on meaning of results. The most they can tell you is whether a result is within or outside normal limits. And clerical staff, may not even know that.

When you see Dr in a week, be sure to tell him vision has further deteriorated.

The amount of blood is small, this what is called microscopic hematuria. This can have many causes including; Kidney disease Urinary Tract Infection Enlarged (benign) prostate Urinary tract stones Vigorous exercise (including sex) Cancer of bladder kidneys or prostate Anticoagulant/antiplatlet medications Any disorder that impairs normal blood coagulation (this can also be side effect of some types of chemo and of radiation). Though if both are a year ago, not very likely now. And sometimes no cause can be found. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22379-microhematuria I suggest you see a urologist to be on the safe side. They will want to repeat the urinalysis at the hospital which is good idea, so avoid vigorous exercise and sex for 24-48 hours begore the visit. They may also want to do a complete blood count including platlets and possibly a PSA.

What type of cancer were you treated for/radiation to which part of the body? When was your last doctor visit for follow up? Where was this urine test done and for what reason?

How long ago was your last injection? It is common to have some temporary issues (fogginess, floaters etc) after an injection but usually just for a few days. If it has been longer than that, and your vision now is noticeably worse than before treatment, you really need to contact your opthalmologist as this is nto normal. As previously explained, if you have wet AMD, as presumably you do, discontinuing the injections virtually guarantees blindness while continuing them stands a 90% chance of halting further visual loss. So obviously should continue. While a minority of people see a change sooner, for most people improvement occurs sometime after the initial loading dose which is a series of injections (usually 3-4) typically a month apart. After these initial "loading" doses, injections are usually at 6-12 month intervals. It is very important to adhere to the treatment schedule.

At least 7 years, not "only" 7 years. The vaccine has only been in use 7-8 years so impossible to know more than that at this time.

This is probably why the cost difference, the prior cost likely included a specialist consultation fee.

Sitagliptine is available under the following brand names: Gliptin (local generic) Inglipton (local generic) Maglitin (local generic) Siglivia (local generic) Instadip (Indian generic) Jimvia (Indian generic) Januvia (Western import) Sitagliptine Sandoz (Western import) The western imports will be expensive, i.e. same or a bit more than full retail price in Europe (as there is a tariff applied to imports). . The other brands will cost less but I can;'t tell you how much. There are also several combination Sitagliptine and metformin preparations. Repaglinide is available only as brand name NovoNorm and may be hard to find. A western import, will be expensive. If you want to get an idea of costs for at least some of the brands, contact https://medisafepharma.com/ Use the Messenger function to inquire.

Chances are that your wife is no longer under SS but rather under the universal system. Thais seldom continue to make SS payments on their own after retirement since they can get free cover under the universal system automatically. As explained, she has to go (at least intitially) to the hospital where she is registered under that scheme. Usually the one that covers the district where she is listed in a tabian ban (housebook). They may refer her onward. I don't know anything about hearing aids that can be programmed with an app, and doubt this is what the government system would provide. But what it does provide, she can get for free, through the universal system as described.

He needs ylto see a urologist.

I have used the Bangkok Dental Hospital, now on On Nut, for many years. http://www.dentalhospitalbangkok.com/contact.php

Is she covered under Social Security? This would be if she is employed and making monthly contributions to the SS Fund, or was previously so employed and then continued the contributions on a self pay basis after leaving employment. Otherwise, she is not covered under SS but rather under the "universal" or "30 baht" scheme -- and can get a hearing aid under that if tests confirm the need. With both SS and the "universal" scheme only certain hospitals can be used. Need to start at the hospital or primary care facility where she is registered under the relevant scheme. They will refer her onward as needed.

It is manufacturer's decision. Usuaĺly financial as registration entails costs. If sales aren't high, not worth it.

It has always been illegal to buy this at a pharmacy though some pharmacies in tourist areas ignore this. Previously registered brands' registrations have expired making them now off market. When this happens, existing stock remains until exhausted or expired but manufacturer no longer imports it until/unless they renew their registration. Some hospitals may continue to import on their own.

Classic PMDD. where in Thailand are you? vaginal dtyness can be managed with estrodial suppiditories. Femiest is one brand name. Mefisafe has it.

As above. Thai doctors are not well informed about this and particularly not well informed about bioidentical HRT. (Synthetics may actuslly make matters worse). Certain anti-aging clinics are the best of the lot, but expensive. How severe are her symptoms? Do they vary with menstrual cycle? (PMDD, which oftens worsens at perimenopsysee, is sometimes confused with symptoms if perimenopause/menopause itself. Hall mark of PMDD us that symptoms sre absent in the 2 weeks immediately after menstruation).

Even those who do nto work. Everyone pays VAT. Brits definitely do pay for their health care, and child education etc. Just not at point of service and also not at same rates, the wealthy pay more. Definitely a better, fairer system but hardly free.
