My 13 yr old just diagnosed

[admin]

Hi Terri – I hope there is now some better news for Koda; are the full results back yet?

[Terri]

No news yet.

I missed the call from the specialist but the message he left was that his wbc are down to 22k and his HTC is up to 33%. He sees no evidence of an autoimmune issue but his kidney values are up and found a small amount of wbc in the urine. What does that mean?
That’s all I know for now. The lepto test hasn’t come back yet.

Not a lot to go on; I guess if there are blood products in his urine, he has a kidney problem. But many of those can be managed, so you need more info. Let us know when you get more….

See https://www.secondchanceaihadogs.com/AIHA_Terms/urinalysis/
“Examination of centifuged (spun) sediment under the microscope to look for cells & other material: (b) White blood cells- Small numbers are usually insignificant. Increased numbers indicates inflammation of the urinary system which is usually secondary to a bacterial infection.”

OK Thanks

Fingers crossed they can find the source or type of infection and get rid of it.
