Covid question?

How do I go about getting screened for lung cancer if I don't meet the requirements?

Does a UTI affect your kidneys?
UTI refers to the entire urinary tract. If your infection is localized in your bladder or urethra, it shouldn’t bother your kidneys. If the infection is located in your kidneys, it is generally able to be cleared with antibiotic without lingering problems to your kidneys. If you have a kidney abnormality or get recurring kidney infections, yes, your kidneys will be impacted. READ MORE

Indoor graduation party?
Oh, you have a challenging choice to make. I am so glad you are immunized, and that is your most important factor! It depends a bit on the incidence of Covid in your community. I currently have several people very sick with Covid. They were unvaccinated, of course. The moderna vaccine is about 94% effective, and that is excellent. It is not 100%, yet it is very, very good. Your age and your asthma matter. Wearing a mask would still be a good idea at this party. READ MORE
Alanine transaminase?
This is a liver function test. It is so very slightly elevated that it is very likely nothing at all to worry about. Are you on a cholesterol medication? Do you have fatty liver? Did you drink alcohol in the few days prior to your lab test? These are the most common reasons for this lab to be elevated. But again, your number is so slightly out of "normal" range, that it likely means nothing at all. READ MORE
Bloody stools?
There are many potential causes from hemorrhoids to diverticulosis to ulcers to arteriovenous malformations to fissures to colon cancer. The first step is to find out what is causing yours. READ MORE
Feeling hot during a walk?
Are you hydrating yourself well enough? This sounds like an effect of the heat. Do you carry enough water (with electrolytes is better!) with you when you walk? READ MORE
