Low Blood Sugar, High RBC. Has Autoimmune Disease. Have Constipation. Lupus Or Sickle Cell Anemia?
my granddaughter has very low blood sugar and a high red blood cell count. The doctors advised her mother that she has an autoimmune disease but not sure of which one. He advised my daughter to keep my granddaughter away from anyone that is sick. They have scheduled her for a "conversation this Friday. Could this be Sickle Cell Disease, Leukemia, or Lupus. Also she has been having trouble with bowel movements and constipation. She is 6 years old.

Hi !
Thank you for your query.
Dear madam,
Whatever information you have provided is insufficient to guide you. low blood sugar is not related to autoimmune disease . generally in autoimmune disorders the is hemolysis leading to anaemia but thats not universal . High RBC count can be physiological or pathological like in polycythemia . I advise you to see you doctor and get her thoroughly investigated only then we can reach on to some conclusion.
If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
Dr. Shruti
