Kidneys and colds

Hey everyone,

Quick question for you. I just fought off a cold last week, and I had some really wacky counts. My HGB was running at about 10.8 when it usually hovers around the low to mid 12s, and my WBCs were up around "6" when they usually settle in the mid 4s. Plts were steady as usual.

Anyway, I know this can happen during a cold, but can your kidneys also be affected? My creatinine shot up to the point where they decided to lower my cyclosporine a smidge. My kidneys also went kooky back in December too, when I had a really nasty cold....and then they seemed to settle down.

Any thoughts?
