Q: last period ended 3 may.missed 2 periods.soapy taste in mouth.dull pain on left ovary constantly. blood test showed quantitative bhcg<5. what could be the reason ?

Need to examine: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD. Consult this site for more information on this topic. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Q: i tested quantitave bhcg after 25 days of intercourse and it was less than 1.2. can i trust on test? is it reliable 25 days after intercourse?

: Yes, the hCG level should be more than 5 if you conceived more than 20 days ago. The test is reliable and I assume you had it done because you had missed your period and the urine pregnancy test was also negative. Take care.

Q: my serum iron is high at 178 (40-150) and tibc is high normal at 439 (261-478). sometimes both are high. what causes this?

Iron: You are likely post-menopausal and are not losing iron through menstrual bleeding. If you have been taking iron supplements, it is time to stop. TIBC being high is not of pathological significance.

Q: is there any medicine to reduce serum creatinine?

Creatinine: N-acetylcysteine (mucomyst) can lower serum creatinine by causing more if it to be excreted into the urine.

Q: my hcg quantative serum is 2264, what does that mean?

5-6 weeks Pregnant: An single HCG level of 2264 means that you are in early pregnancy, probably 5-6 weeks. Its not that accurate for dating a pregnancy. It becomes more useful if you have more than one HCG level. The level should increase by at least 50% every 48 hours. It also can be helpful to know what to expect when an ultrasound is performed in early pregnancy.

Q: which medicine to take or food to eat to reduce serum creatinine?

Food and creatinine: You need to see a nephrologist to determine your renal function. This could be done with a 24 hour urine collection for creatinine clearance and protein as well as having some blood sent off for analysis. You will also need a renal ultrasound to see the size of your kidneys. Depending on the result, you may or may not have to change your diet. See a nephrologist for the answer that best suits you.
