Should Knee Replacement Surgery Be Done Despite High Blood Test Levels?
I m getting ready to have a full knee replacement; however, some of my bloodwork came back high in many areas, e.g., WBC 12.3, RBC 5.29, HGB 15.3, HCT 46, Absolute Neut (K/uL) 9.00, Absolute Mono 1.00, Creatinine (mg/dL) 1.28, Calcium Level (mg/dL 11.7, Urobilinogen 2.0, Urine WBC(/HPF) 6, Urine Bacteria ((A)) Rare, Urine Squamous Epithelial (/HPF) Rare, Urine auric Acid Crystals (/HPF) Rare. I drink water with all my meals and take a glass to bed at night (drinking it thruout the night). When I go somewhere, I always take and drink water. My chest x-Ray was normal. What is going on with me and should I have this surgery?

most of your investigations are within the normal limit. though your renal function test is slight on the borderline but its not a concern. if i were your treating physician i would advice you to go ahead with the surgery.
