Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The AVM in uterus is a non contributing condition to kidney and appendix. The uterus might have blood vessels that are a mass of arterial and venous entanglement within the wall. This will not affect other organs.

Low hemoglobin can cause kidney problems but not appendix related conditions. Low hemoglobin can be a trigger for the kidneys to secrete erythropoietin which helps in the maintaining a balance of red blood cells. However the kidney at times cannot restore the red blood cells by itself and then anemia occurs. Malfunctioning of the kidney can also cause anemia. To say if she has any problem with kidneys, the kidney function tests have to be done in detail.
