Help me understand the abnormal. Blood results

[Grenola]

So my son has been ill. Since October. Admitted to hospital in November with an acute kidney illness where they didn't filter properly. Caused blood and protien on urine and caused very high blood pressure. Since discharge he has been checked weekly at the ward and this week was his last one. He is to be reviewed next week and next course of action decided. He has had 7 full. Blood count tests done and 3 full panel. Immunology resits. But I have only be able to get home of his full blood count from Jan 4th.
Im.so worried about him, he is better but so pale, puffy and tired all the time. Had nose. Bleeds joint pains and odd rashes.

The main abnormailities are he has high platelets and low white blood cells. And a few borderline results right on the lower cut off.

Anybody with experience of what he could have? It's making me ill now as its dragged on eitbour any answers....
He is 5 BTW. And yesterday his BP was 118 even with his high dose of BP medicine

Appointment tomorrow 9. 30. My tummy is churning.

Good luck. Write down everything you want to ask and make notes whilst you are there if it help. I often find I get home from an appointment and my husband asks me about it, and it’s hard to recall all the detail!

Good luck

I've written a bullet point list and emailed it over in advance so she knows what I want to know because in situ I will be crap!

Appointment went very well.
His results since his Jan 4th have showed an upward trend.
He has a firm diagnosis of post strep glomerulonephritis. Which cause him to loose very large amounts of protien and blood. So he has been very aneamic and his complement levels were close to 0 in November but have come back up to suggest no other auto immune causes.
He will recover slowly now and hopefully be better by April if no relapses.

I’m really glad you’ve got a diagnosis and a path to recovery! Thanks for letting us know the outcome 😀
