Autoimmune Condition,on Presdisnolone,recently Had An Inflamed Liver .Is That Going To Effect The Kidneys?

I have some very small unexplained bruising on my forearm, upper arm and near my knees. I have an autoimmune condition and take presdisnolone. I have recently had an inflamed liver which is now ok but wondering if this is related to my kidney function? I ve not had any function tests for approx 8weeks

Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Bruising on forearm can be due to lot of causes. But as you have a history of an autoimmune condition, it may also be due to altered blood cell count. I suggest to undergo a complete blood picture. However, a Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have have any clarifications.
