Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern fully.
I'm sure you can understand the health status of your grand mother,having
kidney failure with multiple strokes, UTI,with Alzheimers, due to which, she can't recognise anyone. UTI should be diagnosed on urine culture only.
The kidney failure leads to severe anemia,that causes low iron levels(Hb), weakness in bones as well. Some patients'are also given an erythropoietin
transfusion for that. If you can send me the reports in my name, i can advise treatment as an expert. Dr.Matthew Mangat.
