RE: Strange blood test results

Chaim,

I hope you get an answer because your pattern of high and low lab work is

identical to mine - with the exception of cholesterol which I haven't had

checked. I also had a handful of cholangitis attacks @ the same time as you.

Chaim,

The high White Blood Cells and platelets

can be from an infection. I think ALP can too, but could not find a quick

reference to that. Looks like your body is still reacting to your

cholangitis attacks. The low blood numbers are a little harder to

rationalize. Given your RBC and hemoglobin I would expect you to have fatigue/stamina

issues. Is your creatinine level normal?

blood test results

The last few months (since my three cholangitis

attacks in three months time) I keep getting blood test results that seem to

puzzle my doctors.

White blood cells are high (13.6), platelets are high (507) and Alkaline

phosphatase is high (145).

In addition, hemaglobin is low (13.8), hematocrit is low (41.3), RBC is kind of

low (4.95) and cholesterol is on a downward trend (especially LDL).

I feel fine, apart from that I am having bad night sweats.

Does anyone have any idea what to look for?

The platelets are high from bleeding, H&H and RBC are low from bleeding also- do

you take vitamin K ?

Lori,

I am not taking ADEK vitamins at the

moment because there is a lapse in supply. I will be getting new vitamins at

the end of the month.

Joe,

Shouldn't my body go back to normal after

two months without cholangitis attacks?

I do tire fast and tend to sleep earlier

than I used to.

My creatinine is in the normal range

(0.83). The range is from 0.67 to 1.17.

Thanks,

Chaim

Chaim,

You would think that after two months

things would be back to normal, especially your White Blood Count and platelets.

A high WBC indicates an infection, at least in my experience. Lori

indicated bleeding can cause your numbers to be where they are and I

agree. Is that a possibility – like from ulcers, ulcerative

colitis, Crohn’s disease, etc?

Joe,

I had a colonoscopy and a full body CT a

few months ago and they did not find IBD or anything else. I am supposedly one

of the few with PSC that does not have IBD. I don't think I have a bleeding ulcer,

I think I would know if I did. Bleeding does also not explain the night sweats.

An infection does, but we can't find where I would have that infection.

Chaim,

Could it be some obscure infection, like a

tooth? My mother had most of your symptoms. She was tired and had

lost some of her stamina – at 85 she still walks the treadmill 40 minutes

per day. Come to find out, she had a tooth abscess. It was found in

a routine dental exam. She had no pain with it, but had the

symptoms. Her only conflicting symptom was low platelets.
