As we mentioned in other articles, endometriosis grows somewhere else other than the endometrium also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. Hysterectomy always is the last resource in treating endometriosis for women who have exhausted all the treatments without success, or endometrial tissues has become cancerous, her doctor may suggest some kinds of hysterectomy. If the hysterectomy is decided and the gynecologist is chosen then pre operative evaluation is necessary to make sure that all requirements are address for a successful surgery.

d) Bicarbonate

Bicarbonate helps the lung and kidney to regulate level of bicarbonate in the blood stream. Too low or too high level of bicarbonate is an indication of either lung or kidney diseases or both.

2) Blood urea nitrogen

Blood urea nitrogen is a good indication how well your kidney function in breaking down protein. Disorder of kidney function causes high level of urea waste product building up in the bloodstream.

3. Creatinine

Our liver helps in filtering and excreting creatinine, any creatinine builds up in the bloodstream is good indication of kidney malfunction.
