What type of cardiac surgery did he undergo? He needs an echo to check his rv function and so consult a cardiologist, till then you can increase the dose of the diuretic (tab furosemide). Also keep a simple daily weight check and then you yourself can adjust the diuretic dose, ask your cardiologist

What are the symptoms that he is having right now. Give him plenty of fluids. Furosemide tablet is a diuretic. It removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body by increasing the amount of urine produced. In doing so, it causes potassium loss.
It does not cause weight loss.

Asked for female, 24 years old from Chennai

My mother (Age 50) was a diabetic, adeno carcinoma stomach (since 1 year) with heart stent was placed 5 years ago. She has edema in her legs, ankle, thigh since 3 days. When we consulted regional cancer centre they have tested the blood. In blood test we have noticed that the albumin is 1.4 gm/dL and protein was 3.4 gm/dL. She is feeling heavy in her abdomen and we have gone for tapping and found that no fluid was coming out and still my mother was feeling heavy in her abdomen serum creatinine test was normal (1). She was using furosemide (water pill) but she was not getting urine frequently it was 500 mL to 1000 mL per day she can't eat anything she is feeling heavy. Doctor said that eat high protein food we are giving 3 eggs per day and milk with protein powder. What to do now? Please give me a suggestion.

Mam, please see a cardiologist also. The edema can be due to the cardiac condition. Please get a Pet-CT to assess the situation of the stomach cancer. If she has omental metastasis even then she can have abdominal distention with loss of appetite. You haven't mentioned any ultrasound or CT report. 400 ml urine is enough for a normal adult. Hence she needs further investigation for us to have a clear picture.

Health Query

I need the second opinion for my old aged mom (almost 95 years). She is suffering from all these symptoms those are mentioned below. Loss of appetite means she doesn't have the same desire to eat as she used to. Signs of decreased appetite include not wanting to eat, unintentional weight loss, and not feeling hungry. The idea of eating food may make she feels heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux) as if you might vomit after eating. She is mostly indigested whatever she takes. I am worrying she might get gastrointestinal (gi) bleeding, sometimes. She is taking pantocid 10 mg (a.c.) half and an hour before every meal. Her lung is filling with fluid (water) and she gets pulmonary edema and that make her feeling shortness breath and tightness is chest and get chest pain as well. She is taking lasix (furosemide) 10 mg (q.d.) to get rid of that extra fluid retention. She gets hypertension (high blood pressure) and is taking amlodipine (norvasc) 5 mg b.i.d. And for the heart related issues, she is taking metaguard 20 mg, monotrate 20 mg (1 tablet each) a.c. When she is taking the lasix, we have to put on hold for the (amlodipine). When the cardiologist took her the e.c.g and angiography (echocardiogram), he found the narrowing of the pulmonary valve opening i.e. Pulmonary stenosis. Firstly, he suggested us to do the pulmonary valve replacement. Due to her weakness and older age, the doctor is recommended to do so. Again, the doctor mentions she might get the chest pain due to her vitamin-d deficiency. It causes the inflammation of the cartilage in the rib cage (costochondritis). She has to take pain killer to release and comfort herself. One or two months ago, she was admitted to the hospital due to her continuous chest pain and shortness and tightness of breath. Then she got fainted. May be she got mild heart attack. After the blood test and angiogram results, it stated clotting of blood in the heart. The blood clot completely obstructs a coronary artery supplying blood to her heart muscle. The doctor also stated magnesium deficiency is heart arrhythmia that was weakening her heart muscle. When her heart can't pump enough blood to meet her body's needs, blood flow slows which can cause clots to form. The doctor injected her blood thinning medication and kept her relaxed in the hospital for about two weeks with a nasal cannula attached to the oxygen supply. After that episode, her physician prescribes her clopilet a 75 mg (q.d.) for thinning blood to avoid the clotting of blood. Due to the medications, her liver gets much toxins, that make her histamine level is high can cause pruritus and dryness. She is always complaining the itchiness most of the time. Whenever she causes the episodes of angina in order to prevent the angina from occurring, we apply nitroglycerin spray to her several times either day or night. Is there any other option to release her chest pain? How about the oxygen therapy? What we should do for her great health. No one wants to see his parent severe suffering with great sorrow. Please assist me with your precious, valuable sound suggestion with earliest response. Thank you very much in advance.

I feel immensly sorry for all that she is suffering from. All that is you narrated is ageing issues. Multiple complaints one related to other mostly medication related. Vit d deficiency because she is not exposed to sufficient natural light. Electrolyte deficiencies due to certain medication. The cardiologist is doing there best, just follow his advise and be ready to accept the fact which are inevitable.

Asked for Male, 23 years old from Chikkamaglur

Is Uric acid 8.2 very dangerous? My dad is taking lasilactone and adalactone! Are they the reason for high uric acid?

Dr. Nilesh Nolkha91%(428 ratings)

Rheumatologist•Mumbai

Not really, high uric acid is itself is not a big problem. 'Lasi' part in lasilactone (furosemide) can increase uric acid a bit. I will only worry if he had gout. Slightly higher uric acid might also be due to poor diet and exercise, rather than drug alone. Sometimes other diseases like diabetes can also cause increase uric acid. Show a Rheumatologist if in doubt. Read about 'gout and matchstick analogy' that might explain a lot of things to you.
Best wishes for your father.
