新たな悩みNew concern

昨日ベラちゃんの尿検査の結果が届いた。
前回より結果は良いけど、アビー先生曰く、ちょっと気になる事があるとのこと。

前回は異常に赤血球の量が多く、白血球が少なかった。尿路感染を起すとこの逆になるのだそう。
でも、酸性レベルが高かったので、感染症を起してるのは確実。
血尿と頻尿はその症状ということで、抗生物質を一ヶ月分処方してもらった。
結果、症状も消え、回復したように見えたけど、依然検査の結果が思わしくない。

今回の結果は、尿中のプロテインと尿結晶、そして赤血球の量。
今はなんの症状はないけど、将来的にまた何か発生するかもしれない。
更なる検査をしない限り、先生も何が原因で尿中の異常が発生してるのか断定できないそう。
今のところ疑うのは、結石くらい。

ということで、来週レントゲンと膀胱検査(バクテリア培養含めた)をお願いする事にした。
これでなんとか、原因がわかると良いのだけれど…I’ve got a new further result of Bella’s urine examination yesterday.
It does not look good.
According to Dr. Abby, it is better result than the last test but there’s something odd found.

In the previous test, they found the excessive amount of red blood cell and too small amount of white blood cell: If some kind of urinary infection was occurring, this condition would not happen. However, they found out pH level is high enough to confirm some kind of infection. So, she was prescribed for 30 days supply of
antibiotic. As a result, she seems recovered from a bloody urine and frequent urination.

In this time, the oddness in her urine is protein, some kind of crystal and red blood cell. Especially, the existence of protein is very odd to give an enough question: What is going on? Right now, nothing is happening to her as medical symptom but in the future something might happen. That’s what Dr. Abby is concerned about. At this point, Dr. Abby can not determine the cause unless the further examination is held such as x-ray and bacterial culture. She also mentioned about a possible urinary stone but it’s not confirmed.

So, we decided to go for the further examination.
Hopefully, this will lead to something clear about her condition.
