Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Have any labs been run? CBC? Kidney function? The kidneys and spleen both have a part in the production of red blood cells, as does the bone marrow. I think I would (and I'm not a health care provider so I could be way off) be most interested in ensuring all aspects of that are normal. The scoliosis could be another symptom of something causing that and the organ enlargement. Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi Tammy, With both kidneys enlarged and bone involvement it sounds like Erdheim-Chester disease.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I too have very unique medical problems. A problem when I am in the sun is I produce too much vitamin d which in turn eats away at my bones and causes them to lose clacium which builds up in my blood then collects in my kidneys causing stones. I have heard that this is a very rare thing, has anyone else had issues with kidney stones and is on the autism spectrum? It took over 2 years for this diagnosis to be diagnosised. I suffered over 17 surgeries for blocked kidneys, large stones, and issues related to both. Very painfull. http://speakup.today.com Subject: Hytronephrosis (enlarged kidneys) need info.....

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Ouch. I have mild scoliosis but my kidneys are fine, apart from getting stones because I'm on Topamax and a high fat/high protein/low carb diet. > > > Subject: Hytronephrosis (enlarged > kidneys) need info..... > To: Autism_in_Girls > Date: Thursday, October 9, 2008, 3:13 PM > > > > > > > Hi > My daughter has enlarged kidneys and her spleen is enlarged > also.She > has scoliosis and I wanted to know if that had something to > do with her > kidneys being like that?
