Thanks for your reply, I am not sure why I was unable to contiue to reply on the same post as it has happened a few times but I hope you read this as I am greatful for your answer.
My husband 53 yrs old also has High blood pressure, and he has had microscopic hematuria for a very long time could this have caused the AAA with mural thrombus , His albumine in urine was 650, then they changed med to coversyl 5 mg and norvaprine 5 mg ,every three months he does a urine test and last time it was 125, then went upto 195, he did another one again but as I was not with him. My mum albumin was 40 and the doctor was doing urine test every 2 weks until he got her pressure right as well as albumin under control. she was in NZ now living with me, so why are the doctors not doing anything to ensure that it is reduced, my daughter too has microscopic hematuria, she had in 2010, and when she had some test done recently they detected microscopic hematuria, they siad it is common just want to know as I am worried. as she is only 22.
With regard to The optimal procedure for managing an AAA associated with occlusive disease is endoaneurysmorrhaphy with inline aortic reconstructionat does he have to wait till it get to 5, or if the thrombus increases from 2.2 can they do the operation and how much doe the trhombus have to increase by before they worry about it. if the thrombus increases and the anurysm does not exceed 5 can they do the operation still. the specialist said that will do the operation through his gron I think he said sten once AAA reaches 5. Sorry about all these questions as I have to wait for another six months before I see him again with a scan. By the way the 4.6 measurement was done in a different place via MRI the other one stating 4.4 was done via ultra sound which one would be more accurate or it will not make much of a difference.Thank you for taking an interest and may God Bless you
