my daughter has a AVM in her uterus waiting the see a doctor to fix it but late night I was in the hospital with her and her hemoglobin was 66 so they gave her blood late night today they are now charging her kidneys and appendix could this be from the low hemoglobin or the AVM
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The AVM in uterus is a non-contributing condition to kidney and appendix. The uterus might have blood vessels that are a mass of arterial and venous entanglement within the wall. This will not affect other organs. Low hemoglobin can cause kidney problems but not appendix related conditions. Low hemoglobin can be a trigger for the kidneys to secrete erythropoietin which helps in the maintaining a balance of red blood cells. However, the kidney at times cannot restore the red blood cells by itself and then anemia occurs. Malfunctioning of the kidney can also cause anemia. To say if she has any problem with kidneys, the kidney function tests have to be done in detail.
