Diagnosed With Anemia. Have Inflammation In Body, Diarrhea, Fatigue, Abdomen Pain, Done CT Scan, Fever With Night Sweats
I am 32, 340, 5"7. I have been diagnosed with anemia and my sed rate is high, the dr says that shows inflammation in my hody but they don't know where it is. I have allot of diarreah and fatigue and now I am getting a ct scan of my lower abdomen and pelvis because I have been having pain in my lower right abdomen. I also get fevers and night sweats. This has been going on for almost 3 years. And my back and thighs are itchy, a real deep itch. Do you have any ideas?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
ESR or erythrocyte sedimentation rate checks for non specific inflammation.
An increased ESR is indicative of inflammation/infection but it does not specify where the problem is located.
Fever and night sweats can occur in infections such as TB but can also occur in other conditions such as leukemia and lymphoma, among others.
The CT scan would determine if there are any lesions in the abdomen or pelvis that may be contributing to your symptoms.
I hope this helps
