Woman weighs treatment against her potential risk of fracture (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a very healthy and active 74-year-old woman, and I’m also quite proactive with my health. I get bone scans done every two years and have osteopenia in both my hips and spine. But because of a T12 fracture in 2018, which was followed by a kyphoplasty, I was recently recommended to see a specialist for more extensive blood work and scans. These scans also showed osteopenia, but in my wrists (which were never previously scanned), I have severe osteoporosis. With the severe compr
Explaining autoimmune hemolytic anemia and its treatments (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m about to turn 70. A month ago, I was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) that’s idiopathic. Two CT scans and many blood tests have cleared me of all tumors; however, my spleen’s enlarged. My hematologist put me on prednisone, which is working very well. I don’t know how long I’ll have to take prednisone, which I’m tolerating very well. I’d appreciate any information and advice that you have on AIHA. — M.L. ANSWER: As its name suggests (“hemo-” is blood, and “-ly
Cardiac patient’s thirst runs rampant in the evenings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m 74 years old, and I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure with a recent ejection fraction of 25%. My cardiologist has me taking empagliflozin (Jardiance) and furosemide (Lasix) daily. With moderate cardio exercise therapy every other day and two diuretics daily, my thirst runs rampant during the evenings, and I find myself drinking fluids to compensate. Am I nullifying the intended purpose of the diuretics? — D.P. ANSWER: The main purpose of diuretics is to remove exces
Woman weighs peritoneal dialysis against hemodialysis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR DR. ROACH: My daughter, age 44, has had chronic kidney disease since she was 10 years old. She had a renal transplant at 23, then another at 32. The second graft started gradually failing a year back. In January, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This past month, she had a total hysterec- tomy, along with the removal of malig- nant tumors and nodules. She has since been on hemodialysis without any out- put of urine. What are the possibilities with peritoneal dialysis? Will this enable
Frequent MRIs and cancer surveillance cause patient anxiety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR DR. ROACH: I'm writing to seek your perspective on a diagnosis that has caused me significant anxiety. A recent incidental finding on an MRI, followed by an endoscopic ultrasound, revealed a cluster of several small cysts (3-7 mm) in my pancreas. They're sus- pected to be branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). My main pancreatic duct is mildly enlarged. My doctors have recommended an MRI/MRCP with and without con- trast in six months, followed by ongo- ing monitoring
