Essentially, we ought to allow enough time for both nature and the medication to take their course. From where I'm sitting, everything seems to point in that direction.

Dr. Kovac is a neurosurgeon over in Dubrava. I can't say for certain if he's still practicing at that specific location, but it would be worth checking up on him.

And no. That has to be administered intravenously, without exception.

I have no idea what "vz" stands for, but I'm assuming "vk" refers to venous blood. Generally speaking, most of these tests can be done via a finger prick, though that’s usually reserved for emergency situations or when they just can't find a usable vein on someone. I’m speaking strictly from my own perspective here—I don't know why these specific abbreviations like "Vz" and "Vk" would just pop up out of thin air in a medical context. If you were to ask a lab technician, they might try a finger prick if they can, but it's not the standard.
So, my bet is they'll end up drawing a little bit from a vein after all.

It could be part of a cluster of conditions. I'll list the possibilities in a moment. We're looking at things like smoking history, chronic lung disease, or various autoimmune disorders. Most often, this stems from issues within the colon, though there's also a significant chance it's related to a massive pile of much more serious stuff. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he needs to go through another round of processing, but we really need to wait for the specialists who have been managing him due to that shadow on the scan to weigh in. You can't draw any real conclusions based on guesswork alone.

I honestly think a smaller dose would be more appropriate

It might help if you aren't consuming much sugar. Are you on a specific diet or anything? Also, are you female, and how old are you? It helps to have context.
What does the report actually say? You can't just summarize it yourself like this.
Do you have issues with blood sugar or anything similar? Anyway, here is a link; everything is explained quite clearly there.

Here is some information regarding bacteria in urine as well.

There’s absolutely nothing to worry about here. We're looking at a negligible, minimal downward shift. It’s especially insignificant if there was some sort of infection going on during the testing window. I’d suggest getting tested again in about ten days, though it might be wise to check iron levels along with the other UibC and tibc markers as well.

Calcium really needs to be north of 3.0 before you even start looking at other possibilities. Besides, you’d need to be experiencing actual symptoms for it to point toward anything specific. How old are you, and has a doctor actually sat down and reviewed these results with you? If there are kidney issues in the picture, that’s where the focus should probably be instead. Generally speaking, the lab work looks clean enough on its own, but without a physical exam or seeing your full medical history, there isn't much else to say.

That’s something you really have to weigh first, assuming there aren't any other symptoms piling up and your other lab results are looking relatively normal. Your doctor will give you the final word on the specifics of your situation, but you can certainly go ahead and take this. Besides, it isn't exactly a massive deviation from the norm.

I assume you've already done some digging online regarding alkaline levels—you know, looking into what it actually means when they come back low or high?
To start things off, I’d suggest getting on a regimen of vitamin B, zinc, and magnesium.

That seems standard enough. They probably ran a few more tests on you, like liver panels and things like that, or maybe they just stuck to this.

Everything looks normal in the results. What was the motivation behind running these tests in the first place?

Was this specific testing ordered based on a recommendation from your primary care physician?

Given these lab results and how long you've been dealing with this, hospitalization is honestly what's required here.

I have to agree with that assessment.

I honestly think it would be worth your while to go see him. Especially if you're dealing with something significant, or if you've already bounced around between various specialists only to find that nothing actually works.

Dr. Egic in Daruvar.

I can't quite recall. Was he in Full Metal Jacket?
Or am I just misremembering?

Head straight to the ER and tell them you haven't been able to urinate all day. They'll likely get a catheter in you and hand over a referral for a urologist—or, if they're being efficient, they might just send you to see one immediately.

Look, when it's time to face it, it's time to face it.

Read a few lines of that, then try to wrap your head around why an ultrasound alone isn't enough—you’re going to need a full consultation with a urologist. This isn't some "plug & play" situation where you just run a quick scan and call it a day.
