I thought that I read a thread here about how to speed up your period (make it not last as long?) or to reduce bleeding? Does anyone remember that? My dh is returning this week and it will just be the wrong time to punctuate, iykwim. I'm not on the pill or I would have skipped the placebo week.
An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) test is performed to examine the lining of your esophagus. The esophagus is the muscular tube that connects your throat to your stomach and the duodenum-the upper part of the small intestine.An EGD test is administered by passing a small camera on a tube (called an endoscope) down the throat and along the length of your esophagus.our doctor may recommend an EGD test if you have certain symptoms that are not responding to treatment. These symptoms include: 1  severe chronic heartburn. 2  vomiting blood. 3  black or tarry stools. 4  regurgitating food. 5  pain in the upper abdomen. 6  unexplained anemia. 7  persistent nausea or vomiting.
The eGFR is a test that is used to assess how well your kidneys are working. The test estimates the volume of blood that is filtered by your kidneys over a given period of time. The test is called the estimated glomerular filtration rate because the glomeruli are the tiny filters in the kidneys. If these filters do not do their job properly then the kidney is said to have reduced or impaired kidney function. The eGFR test involves a blood test which measures a chemical called creatinine.
