What Cause Severe Headache And Bouts Of Blood Through Nose In A Kidney Transplant Patient?
My friend who is a kidney transplant patient was recently admitted to hospital as she has a bad bout of shingles to control the pain. She has also been suffering from severe headaches and when she blew her nose a blood clot came out. Is this due to her hamoglobin being low ?

No. In Transplant patient bleeding from nose and headache is very dangerous symptom and he should be evaluated for any fungal infection. Don't neglect it..He needs evaluation with CT scan. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
