I think its a great idea he goes back to LUTH again. This time, he has backing of man and money, atleast better than what it used to be. Nigerians have a funny way of getting things done when under pressure or spotlight. If that be so, LUTH should be able to atleast give us a focused and precise situation of the man. If he has to be referred to idia, Uch or anywhere else, LUTH too should be in the best position to do so
brother, God bless your efforts as regarding hammed. But I'll advice he goes to Uch. Uch is a quartinary hospital, quite better than Luth IMO. I have been there a couple of times as a pharmacist, tho I don't have a contact there who could be of help, but I believe he'll GEt better diagnosis and treatment at Uch. Remember, at Luth they said they could find nothing earlier. No one would readily submit to there inefficiency especially publicly. I pray he gets well. God bless nairalanders.

I see your point.

Serological tests is being done to rule out cancer and narrow it down to a non-malignant liver disease although it might be a false alarm, so he needs a referral to an Hepatologist. Hope LUTH or UCH or LASUTH has one cos he should be under the care of a Specialist since they suspected bleeding. He needs an ultrasound, but not at N53k they quoted, haba!

Does one need to go to hospital to check blood pressure in Nigeria? Or could he get someone to check both sides whilst he is at home waiting?

We'll definitely keep this thread updated. We've found people who live close to his area that can pay him visits. Hopefully, he'll be checked into the hospital ASAP. Too many recommendations already. I still don't know what his family has decided but I'm waiting to hear from him.

Thanks so much.

Below is their recommendation for diagnosis as this would give a guide for treatment;

A complete blood count (CBC) may be helpful in
looking for potential infection (an elevated white
blood cell count), anemia (a low hemoglobin ), and
indirectly, liver function (low platelet count).
Other blood tests may be helpful in assessing
electrolyte balance, kidney and liver function, and
the amount of protein in the body.
If the patient presents with new-onset ascites,
paracentesis is recommended to obtain samples of
the fluid for analysis to assist in making the
diagnosis. Removal of the fluid may assist with
symptom control. Paracentesis is a
sterile procedure whereby a needle is placed
through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal
cavity and fluid is removed.
Gastroenterologists (specialists in the digestive
system including the liver) use a formula
measuring the amount of albumin (protein) in the
blood compared to the amount found in the ascites
fluid to help them classify the type of ascites and
assist with the diagnosis. If the amount of protein
is higher in the serum, it may be due to liver
disease, heart failure, and Budd-Chiari syndrome.
If the ratio is low, then cancer and pancreatitis
are potential causes.
Laboratory tests on the ascites fluid may include
evaluation for infection and the assessment of
electrolytes and other substances.

Busybody2:



More than 20 people advised to avoid LUTH, but Dr Naijaking1 stated that it might not be safe for him to travel 3 hours and that it's best he has someone coordinate the transfer before setting off elsewhere. Olu4life too just mentioned as well that UCH would need a referral from LUTH.

An ultrasound ought to be carried out and I hope this is not what LUTH is requesting for N53k for

I don't like commenting on Nairaland, but, one still voice has being disturbing me to do so...

I will be brief on my opinion to you, Hammed or DJDOLA. Wake up from ur sleep, go to genuine private hospitals within Lagos (It's expensive, but, they will tell you what's going on) let Nairalanders know exactly what went wrong, all I read here are Ascite, liver problem, cancer etc, what exactly is wrong?

And next time, don't rush to reveal ur AC Number, it's make some doubting Thomas (e.g, like me) thinks it's a scam in the 1st place thereby, creating setback 4U.

N:B
I don't have much money right now, but, whatever you find out and concluded on, reply here, I will see how I can help by sending you little amout or I'll donate liver 4U free of charge (but, that's if; mine, match with yours).

Pls NL, remember to pray for Hammed while in church today, I've said mine to Omni Presece right here in my room.

Hammed aka DJDOLA, God that raise up Jesus Christ on the third day, will heal you in Jesus Name
Crying emotionally.........it haven't gotten to that big brother and we pray it won't.......silver and gold You have not, but what You have is bigger than both, permit me to call You Jesus of our time, humanity will never run dry in yor Family....God will always provide abundant resources for You to help others in need****I duff my cap for you

Hammed (a.k.a DJDOLA), I'm suppose to say this if I visit you but since distance won't permit me, I'm sending this invocation via this medium.

Laa ba 'sa tahoorun in shaa Allah.
'Do not worry, it will be a purification for you, Allah willing'

As 'alullahal 'Azeema Rabbal 'Arshil 'Azeem an yashfiyaka. (x7)
'I ask Almighty Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne, to make you well '
Ameen




After reading a few pages on this thread, I saw this picture of you lying on the bed and I feel a sense of empathy and wish I'm not an unemployed graduate.

With tear in my eye, I manage to speak with a doctor friend in UCH and send the pix to him via bbm, he said the ailment is cancer related and that UCH has necessary facilities to handle it. I can link you up with him if you wish to go to UCH in Ibadan. He also promised to do everything within his capacity to ensure you get proper medical attention.


I will not promise financial assistance but I hope Allah will surprise me to surprise you.

Peace Onto You Bro

***modified***
AND

On behalf of DJDOLA, I'm thanking. Every member of NL for their response and assistance (moral, financial, spiritual) and utmost appreciation goes to the mod and Oluwaseun Osewa.

This attest the fact that we love ourselves in Nigeria irrespective of religion, political and tribal differences.

God bless you all.

Thumbs up bro & thanks for duffn ur cap. Respect bro. I just believe talk is cheap while action speaks louder than voice. However, I do not pray OP situation gets critical, my opinon/contribution was base on "faith without work is vain". I've prayed for him (which I bliv God will answer) but if God said, I have d solution to his problem, who are my to say No.

I've been following this thread since it came up on frontage yesterday.......
I pray to the Almighty to grant quick recovery to OP....
I'm a medical student of University of Ibadan/UCH, though I don't know much about this disease for now but I can shed some light to it......
From this ascites, I can see two probable cause 1) peritonitis. 2) portal hypertension
I will rule 1 above out because the cause is mild and easily treateable
The other, portal hypertension, has a lot of underlying cause ranging from hepatitis, hepatocarcinoma, pancreatitis, pancreatic tumor and any abdominal cancer etc

What I think should be the next line of action-.....
One or two Nairalander should accompany OP to LUTH today or tomorrow (whichever is feasible) with the intention/mindset that we have enough money to treat OP, hear out the CONSULTANT(not Registrar or a Medical offricer), consultant I reapeat, in charge of OP case.
If they still sound clueless, I beg ask for referral to UCH, Ibadan(if possibe, see if an ambulance with a medical doctor can accompany to Ibadan)
All in all, I think with enough money all things can be done and OP can get intensive care in LUTH, UCH or abroad
