Exjade and kidneys

You are welcome Dore  .

Dore,

My mistake ,i am sorry,i converted your hb wrong,i was converting it into mg/dl,the actual unit is g/dl,according to which 4 mmol/l means 6.4 g/dl,and 5.5 mmol/l means 8.8 g/dl.

Zaini.

I'm not quite sure you're right Zaini. As far as I know - thanks to the link you provided on December 20, 2008 - 4 mmol/l equals 72 mg/dl = 7,2 g/l and 5.5 mmol/l = 99 mg/dl = 9.9 mg/l. So your first calculations were accurate.

Hi Jos,

That link was for Diabetic patients,and when i checked my daughter's report i saw that hb was measured in g/dl and not mg/dl,so i searched a little bit more and found the correct converter.Here it is,

Hello Zaini,

Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand, you were first using the converter for clycosylated Hemoglobin A1c to Average Blood Sugar Level. The link you provided doesn't work though.

I found this rather useful alphabetical list of all kinds of conversions:

Dag Jos,

Nice to see an other member from the Netherlands. Kunt u iets meer over uzelf vertellen?

Groetjes, Dore

Hoi Door,

Hello to you too! Your name was mentioned in the thread following my introductory post in the sub-forum 'The Spotlight'. So I thought let's have a look at Door's posts.

In that thread you'll find all the information about me I could give at this moment. Please see http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=2808.msg27554#new. I hope you don't mind me doing it this way. And if you ever write to me in Dutch please leave out the word 'u'   

By the way how about you Door? How are you? Did you see http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=2824.0 in 'General Chatter'? A lot of people are following your doings and of course your wellbeing. I'm one of them too from now on.

See you!

Jos.-

Hello, I don't know where to put it else. I restarted Exjade. I got 2 targets for a period with no limits, but without a break. I take 750mg at night to avoid sleep effects during the day. First i want to cross the magical line of 1000 and secondly I want to reach the 800.
The only problems is that I experience signs of possibly kidney and liver problems. I hope I only became paroinide(sp?), you know what I mean, and that it are only the signs of starting. Tomorrow morning normal test(only kidney) and wday the results and tanking up.

That's what I wanted to say. One thing: any advice what to do with a toddle with way too high kidney and liver levels? We talk about 375mg and pyruvate kinase deficiency. )

 I forgot to tell you that for the first time in a year I was able to postponed my transfusion for a week!!!! It was 5.8mmol/l plus the most hot days of the year;)
ifeel well, I only get bike in my own fast speed. That's OK. That's good enough for a 3week interval :-D

Dore,

What do you mean by possible liver and kidney problem,please keep a check on your SGPT and serum creatinine.
