More there.

When my Mom had her final hospital admission, the lab staff got a sterile access urine sample from her urine bag. Mom said she had not been feeling the typical UTI symptoms.

I've been there myself.

you'll miss it when it's gone!

too share! Thank you SheltieLover! 😊

my wife has just been treated for this non-alcoholic liver condition when it advanced to cirrhosis(scarring) which is NOT reversible damage and sets the stage for failure if unaddressed. Luckily the condition of ammonia overload, especially in the brain is very treatable with the right laxative to help the poorly processed liver by-product out of the system. Only for some years has this been taken seriously enough in diabetics. So, for better or worse, the best thing to do is treat with diet, exercise.

IF you have fatty liver, THAT is the time to fight it immediately with every lifestyle change necessary. The ammonia creeping in can be very insidious and hurts the mental functions terribly and episodically, reinforcing behavior that leads to worse. For a year we thought it was diabetic fugue or some type of dementia. It did not even show up until the second hospitalization because they do not normally test for ammonia and the levels have to be fairly high to be good indicators.

So, yes fatty liver is reversible. Ammonia poisoning even if ingested is very rarely fatal. But liver damage, scarring, is not. Diet and exercise. Happy to recommend this without controversy. And your diabetic meds and statins are generally found to be helpful too, which seems good news.

Lots of problems, including diabetes & NAFLD are caused by or significantly exacerbated by sleep apnea.

Thx for sharing!

When we see a good hepatologist and PT in the aftermath we have a lot to discuss.

And, even if she has apnea & uses a cpap, that will not reverse fhe fatty liver, but it will kerp it from getting worse, normalize high blood pressure, drop high cholesterol, esp triglycerides, & bring sugar count down. Other less important effects include frequently regrowing hair & sense of smell returning.

How is it NIH & other credible sites have all this info & doctors don't know?
