son has crohns with many extraintestinal manifistations including LCV and HsP among others. He presented with up to 30-40 RBC and 2+ protein a year ago b4 being systemically treated with methotrexate, remicade and steroids, in the hope that the inflammation would exit his kidneys and calm down in his intestinal tract.
Joinnt pain, nausea, fatigue, psoriasis type head sores and ocaissional bouts with LCV and pyoderma have plague him for years. a well meaning nephroglogist told us the Kidneys would just "go" and we needed to keep an eye on them. It's been over a year he has enjoyed good health and I am worred that the recurrence of even a small amount of blood in his urnalysis could be his disease preciptating out in his kidneys
