Questions on Labetalol

feeds@yuku.com (petite007) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 01:46:08 GMT
I'm 2 1/2 years post of left adrenal pheo and started taking Labetalol for labile hypertension with jumps up to 189 -118. This has been working but lately I have had to increase it to 400 mg prn which usually is 3-4 times per day. Now the other day it broke through after 400 mg 150-109 and I called my doctor out of concern as I had been in the hospital for a week with some unpleasant gastro issues and BP in hospital was quite low.

I was just curious if the increase is just...

Hi there...

I just wanted to pass on a website that I found that will tell you what different medical codes mean. Just enter the code numbers in the blank box after the word "for" and hit enter and it tells you exactly what that DX number on your records means.

Secondary Polycythemia

Links to information about secondary polycythemia.

"Other causes of secondary polycythemia include smoking, renal or liver tumors, or heart or lung diseases that result in hypoxia. Endocrine abnormalities, prominently including pheochromocytoma and adrenal adenoma with Cushing's syndrome are also secondary causes. Athletes and bodybuilders who abuse anabolic steroids or erythropoietin may develop secondary polycythemia."

List of Facilities with MIBG 123 or 131

feeds@yuku.com (ebezebe) — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 09:45:47 GMT
With many thanks to this board and the people who post, I was able to learn that there are two kinds of MIBG scans -- one that uses a 123 isotope, and another that uses the 131.

I have been told by my doctor and surgeon that I must have an MIBG done to confirm the mass they have found is a pheo, but know with all certainty that my body could never make it through 3-4 days of laying on a hard table for 2-3 hours, which is what I was told would be required. I asked my doctor and the...
