Question 1

can cannabis use cause high bilirubin levels? mine is 4.0?

Accepted Answer

: There is data indicating some of the dozens of separate chemicals found in cannabis can cause liver injury. I would want a full liver enzyme panel to evaluate your present status. Since the material can linger for months in your fat cells, cessation by a regular user does not end the exposure. This could be something else, including infectious hepatitis.

Question 2

does marijuana raise iron levels in the blood?

Accepted Answer

No data known.: Marijuana is not known to raise iron levels in the blood. However, you could have a lung condition or other illness which raises your red blood cell, hemoglobin or iron levels. It would be good to have an evaluation from your physician to determine the cause.

Question 3

possible for marijuana increase creatinine level in blood?

Accepted Answer

Marijuana Effects: On first reading of your question my gut reaction as an expert in marijuana as medicine is to say no.  There is no direct correlation between cannabis exposure and kidney strain.

Marijuana is a good appetite stimulant, an anti-inflammatory medicine, and it calms the nerves and the GI tract when ingested properly for medical reasons.

Question 4

can smoking marijuana lower or increase uric acid levels in blood or is there no effect?

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: I cannot find any data to indicate that marijuana has any appreciable effects on uric acid levels (although there are also no studies that demonstrate it does not).   Marijuana has been been approved for medical use for certain conditions including glaucoma and cancer, but does not have an indication for treating gout or elevated uric acid levels.

Question 5

does smoking hash/marijuana (once in 3 months) increase uric acid levels further where egfr and other kidney tests, including ultrasound, are normal?

Accepted Answer

: It should not. But these drugs are in general harmful to health and should be avoided

Question 6

if i took a drug test that showed i had a marijuana level of 111 would i be clean in seven days from the day i took the test and tested positive?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no: It's an unfortunate fact that marijuana can stay in your system for weeks after doing a lot of it, and is much more likely to be detected after far more dangerous drugs will be predictably eliminated from your system. This is unfortunate with our current system as it drives people who want to be goofy away from the safer drug. Stay clean -- it's more rewarding long-run -- and i wish you luck.

Question 7

whats wrong can't get thc out of body i am 37 a slighty overweight woman haven't smoked marijuana in about 72 days my thc levels are 71 it was 78 , two weeks ago what's happening why wont my body expel it

Accepted Answer

The : The metabolite of thc (delta-9-tetrahyrocannabinol) is measured; which is called thc-cooh. The metabolite has a long elimination time and can be present in regular users for 7 to 100 days in urine and 2 to 7 days in blood. If you have been a heavy, long time user - there are reports of positive drug screens even beyond 100 days.  Even it you have not smoked marijuna in 72 days, if you are in the presence of people who are smoking, you can get a positive urine drug screen from second hand smoke.

Question 8

i've been prescribed pantoprazole for about a month. i am also a medical marijuana patient and wanted to know if i could still consume marijuana while on this medication? would it decrease effectiveness or increase the risk of an overdose?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: 
Possible interactions:
 MJ use might increase effect of alcohol.
Anticoagulants/anti-platelet drugs, herbs&amp;supplements. These reduce clotting. MJ canchange how the body processes them,  increased risk of bleeding. MJ&amp; CNS depressants mightcause an additive sedative effect.
Protease inhibitor;MJ use with use of these antiviral drugs might reduce their effectiveness.
SSRI-possible mania-mayo Clinic

Question 9

does  long term marijuana use negatively affect seratonin levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The literature seems to indicate that more than occasional use of marijuana decreases seratonin levels.

Question 10

how long does marijuana thc-cooh  stay readable in a urin sample?can the ng/ml level drop after 10 days

Accepted Answer

Depends on usage: Theoretically thc and its metabolites can be detected in a urine sample for up to four weeks after cessation of use. Specificity is set at 50 ng/ml.  Anything higher is called positive. Not likely to see a significant drop before that time. Urine drug tests are not usually quantitative for thc, therefore, its reported positive if level is above 50ng/ml.
