Ivana Quiroga



I did my regular analisis, blood work which turned out ok, but some of the values of the creatinina and the urea are very high. The Dr said that these never came down since my kidneys failed, and only a true miracle could cause my kidneys to function at 100 %. I continue with my daily dialisis, which I do four times a day, I take vitamins every day and I also give myself injections twice a week. They did a cat scan on my head to see pituitary gland , which according to the Doctors of Nefrologia everything was fine, but I still have to see what the Doctors say of neuroendroquinologia, because they were the ones that sent the order for the cat scan, I will be seeing them on the 26 of May, if possible pray that all will turn out ok Lord willing. The analisis that I was sent to have done by the Doctors of endroquimologia came out ok with the exception of the gland pretiroidea that came out very high. The doctors said that they would probably give me medication to normalize de values; this gland is the one that controls the amounts of calcium and phosphorus en the blood, which if there is to much calcium in the blood the arteries can solidify causing of course problems. All this will be seen after the 26 of May. Also the Doctors of Neufrologia sent me to have another cat scan on another part of my head because they say I might have cists because I have frequent head aches , they said that since my kidneys were full of cists also I could have them in another part of my body like my brain. I have been limited to what I can eat and drink, so that has been hard for me, continue to pray that God would grant me in his will a transplant soon, thank you for all your prayers, Love Ivana
