Hello,
I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- An abdominal ultrasound
- A lumbar spine MRI
- Kidney and liver function tests
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- A urine analysis
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
