abnormal bloodwork and urinalysis Posted: 05-29-08 20:49pm
For several months now I have had
bloodwork done. The platelets are high,
alkaline phosphatase is high,red blood
cells, hemaglobin, and hematacrit are all
low. I had an irritable bowel flare up
recently. Blood work showed all of the
above. Urinalysis shows red blood cells in
urine, calcium oxalate crystals and mucus
threads. I have fevers more often than
not. About two weeks ago, I started having
burning pains which led to lurinating. It
would happen several times every night. CT
of Abdomen and pelvis is normal, I have
left hip pain. (Didn't pay much attention
to that because I had low back fusion in
March). They took bone marrow from my
right hip. That has caused severe pain in
that area which is being treated with
physical therapy.I told my therapist about
the left hip pain which has caused a lot
of concern.
What I am trying to do if figure out if
there are bladder or kidney problems. I
have an appointment with a urologist soon.
My PCP is also concerned about bone
infection, as am I.
Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
