Hi

Depends how bad it is.

Most do not affect any of these things.

If severe can cause kidney pain + swelling and raised white cell count ( inc neutrophil count.)
No effect on RBC count.

What could cause a extremely low blook count and a low HBC count?

ACCEPTED

Not a urine infection !

Suggests a bone marrow problem.

Are you having this investigated?
