My 80-year-old grandma has toxic multinodular goiter her thyroid scan showed high uptake, T3 and T4 are elevated, and TSH is very low. The doctor suggested neomercazole for six weeks followed by surgery, but she's hesitant about the operation. She's had an enlarged thyroid for years with no swallowing or breathing issues, just some breathlessness when walking. Could medication alone manage her hyperthyroidism, or is surgery really necessary in her case? She's worried about going under the knife at her age. Also, should we start the neomercazole as prescribed?

I'm 40 years old and I did a blood sugar test last week. My fasting was 124 and my postprandial (pp) was 97. I'm trying to understand why my fasting level is high since I'm not on any diabetes medication. I ran for 40 minutes just before doing this check for my fasting sugar, and I was sweating by the time I reached the lab. Could this have affected my sugar reading?
decrease in kidney size can be a good sign, but it's essential to understand the context. _Interpretation_ 1. _Variation in measurement_: The 0.9cm difference in kidney size might be due to variations in measurement techniques or equipment between the two diagnostic centers. 2. _Spontaneous improvement_: In some cases, a decrease in kidney size can indicate spontaneous improvement or resolution of an underlying condition, such as a cyst or inflammation. 3. _No cause for concern_: Since all other parameters are normal, and you're not experiencing any symptoms, this decrease in kidney size might not be a cause for concern. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss the ultrasound reports with your doctor to determine the best course of action. 2. _Monitor kidney function_: Regularly monitor your kidney function through blood tests (e.g., serum creatinine, eGFR) to ensure there are no underlying issues. 3. _Follow-up ultrasound_: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 6-12 months to monitor any changes in kidney size or function. _When to Seek Immediate Attention_ 1. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience severe symptoms, such as flank pain, hematuria, or fever. 2. _Abnormal kidney function_: If your kidney function tests reveal abnormal results. 3. _Rapid changes in kidney size_: If you notice rapid changes in kidney size or function.
