Hospitalized high fever, Elevated liver enzymes, AMA positive, PBC diagnosed
Early Nov I was hospitalized for high fever and the worst headache I ever had. I had head pain for week prior to admission. Temps ranged from 101 to 104 and 106. Chills, sweating, nausea, fatigue and confusion. Potassium low, white blood count low, liver enzymes high, cardiac troponins were elevated.
Tests included a spinal tap, MRI and CT- Scan of head and various workups. I was treated with antibiotic Vancomycin. 1 week in hospital.
Since release saw GP and GI Dr's. Nurse called said positive AMA's and PBC - Dr will discuss with me on return visit in 2 weeks. GP sent letter stating increased ALP, low sodium - I am to return to clinic lab in one month to repeat CBC and a CMP.
Recent symptoms include: Pain which comes and goes, sometimes waking me - head, neck and shoulder pain and crepitus (cracking sounds), oily light colored stools, bloating, decrease in urine, pain on rt side, radiates to back and upper abdomen, pain in upper abdomen, pain in lower right abdomen and memory loss. Low grade fever comes and goes.
In 2012 I was diagnosed with lack of pancreas enzymes prescribed Creon DR. EGD dilated esophagus; diagnosed with esophagitis, gastritis. Colonoscopy, removed polyps, diagnosed with diverticulosis.
In 2010 diagnosed with CRPS in right foot and leg. Treatment included various meds. Nerve pain has subsided after recent hospitalization.
In 2004 had gallbladder removed and appendix. This is when right upper quadrant pain began.
Has anyone else experienced any of this? I was told, just recently, I had elevated liver enzymes for a while.
