    Is anyone here in the medical field? My sister was just sent to the hospital because her blood work showed that both her kidneys and liver are not functioning. Can anyone tell me what this could mean?She is in another city and I feel helpless not being there. I don't know if this is serious enough for me to go to where she is (which is what I want to do) .

    I am not in the medical field, but that sounds serious to me.

    No "symptoms"...just blood-work diagnosis?

    Don't know, but it might be nothing, except wrong blood-work diagnosis.

    She has been ill for over a week. Thought she had the flu. That is why she went in to the DR. and they did the blood work.

    Thanks for answering, George and Breeze. I appreciate it.

    It may not be real bad. My recent blood work showed serious liver problem I went to hospital and had a sonogram. Everything was fine - no problems at all.

    Thanks, ng and Karen. I emailed Christi and checked the website.

    Karen, were you ill when this happened to you, or was it a routine blood test ?

    Thanks for the prayers also.

    I was not sick. It was a routine blood test. I get them all the time because of cancer.

    Update

    They are running tests today and will analyze them Monday.

    She realized that she has been bloated for a couple of months. I don't think that sounds encouraging.

    Thanks for your prayers!

    My prayers are with you and your family. A lot of things can do that - some anitbiotics or other medications, as well as medical conditions.

    Hi! Just wanted to post that my sister is home and ok. They decided that her tests were out of whack because she had been ill for so long.Her son and his wife will take care of her for a few days until she is back on her feet.

    She really had me scared...

    I appreciate the replies and prayers :)
