DIABETES

 Can Diabetes Affect Fertility in Men and Women? If you have been trying hard to get pregnant for some time – you might have done a cleanse, started a fertility diet and stopped all the harmful habits like smoking, to no avail – it could be time for a simple blood sugar test to tell you what the exact problem is.

Creatinine

  Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate from muscle and protein metabolism. It is released at a constant rate by the body.   Creatinine  is produced from creatine, a molecule of major importance for energy production in muscles. Approximately 2% of the body's creatine is converted to creatinine every day. Creatinine is transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys. The kidneys filter out most of the creatinine and dispose of it in the urine. Although it is a waste, creatinine serves a vital diagnostic function. Creatinine has been found to be a fairly reliable indicator of kidney function. As the kidneys become impaired the creatinine will rise. Abnormally high levels of creatinine thus warn of possible malfunction or failure of the kidneys, sometimes even before a patient reports any symptoms. It is for this reason that standard blood and urine tests routinely check the amount of creatinine in the blood. Medical Definition of Creatinine Creatinine:...

Usually the sac goes away after the egg is released. If an egg is not released, or if the sac closes up after the egg is released, the sac can swell up with fluid. Functional ovarian cysts are different from ovarian growths caused by other problems, such as cancer. Most of these cysts are harmless. They do not cause symptoms, and they go away without treatment. But if a cyst becomes large, it can twist, rupture, or bleed and can be very painful. What causes functional ovarian cysts? A functional ovarian cyst forms because of slight changes in the way the ovary makes or releases an egg. There are two types of these cysts: A follicular cyst occurs when a sac on the ovary does not release an egg, and the sac swells up with fluid. A luteal cyst occurs when the sac releases an egg and then reseals and f...
