Q: abnormal bloodwork and urinalysis
asked by: diannep on May 29th, 2008

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
Diannep
