What Causes Sudden Confusion And Fainting?
I have a very elderly client - recent exacerbated confusion, fall (no head strike), difficult behavior, recent tx (1/12 ago) for UTI, FWT was + leucs but MSU sent shows no growth but high polymorphs (532 and should be less than 10). What does this mean? CRP is normal, creatinine is raised at 156 umol/L as is Urea 16.7 mmol/L . Have encouraged adequate hydration

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
She may be suffering from electrolyte imbalance or minor stroke or septicemia or acute delirium etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. She may need complete evaluation, please consult your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
