young kid w/ recurrent utis since age 1, low height percentile and weight
PE shows pallor, labs show normochromic, normocytic anemia and inc serum [urea] and [creatinine], UA shows low specific gravity
which of the following results is most likely?
Ca _____ PO4 _____1,25vitD ______Epo
up _____ up ______ up __________ down
up _____ up ______ down ________ down
up _____ down ____ down ________ up
down ___ up ______ up __________ down
down ___ up ______ down ________down
down ___ down ____ up __________ up
any help? I am thinking the last set of labs, (down down up up) because he has aplastic anemia, so his Epo is likely to be up, explains his recurrent utis, and low height/weight explained by high vitD
OR I am thinking he has renal failure from recurrent utis which means low Epo and low 1,25 vitD, which means low Ca and up PO4, (down up down down)
