Hi,
The CT scan result indicates several findings:
*
Hydronephrosis with hydro ureter: This means there is swelling in the kidney and the tube (ureter) that drains urine from the kidney to the bladder. This can be caused by a blockage, such as a kidney stone.
* Possible tiny stone: This suggests the presence of a small kidney stone, which may be causing the hydronephrosis.
* Diffuse skeletal sclerosis: This finding indicates the increased density of the bones throughout the body. The possible causes of this finding include metastatic cancer,
metabolic bone disease, congenital bone disorder, or other etiology.
* Elevated
alkaline phosphatase (alk phos) level: This is a liver enzyme that is often elevated when there is a problem with the liver or bone. In this case, it could be related to diffuse skeletal sclerosis.
* Low hemoglobin (9.2 g/dL) and hematocrit (28%): This suggests anemia, which could be related to bleeding, such as
bleeding gums.
* Low
platelet count (52 x 10^3/μL) and low
white blood cell count (3 x 10^3/μL): These findings suggest a problem with the bone marrow, which produces blood cells.
Based on these findings, further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause of the patient's symptoms. There may be underlying cancer that is causing diffuse skeletal sclerosis and other findings, and this should be investigated further.
The presence of hydronephrosis and a possible kidney stone should also be evaluated and managed accordingly. The patient's low hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, and white blood cell count should also be addressed.
