My Dr. (Internist) just called and told me I had a high renal level and have to see a renal specialist. Anyone know if this could be Lyme related?

Could be Anaplasmosis or Babesiosis related more likely than Lyme- Anaplasmosis/Ehrlichiosis can cause renal failure and so can Babs- Ehrlichiosis more often associated- Ehr can be seronegative even in acute fatal cases!!!!!!!!!!!

PUBMED search

Ehrlichiosis & renal = 31 citations
Babesiosis & renal= 69 citations
Lyme & renal= 49 citations

HOWEVER with the amount of research on those three diseases being 90% Lyme and 5% Babs, 5% Ehr, Babesiosis would be your best bet!!! Only 49 cications for Lyme is NOT very much considering the thousands of articles out there-
for Babs and Ehr- 69 and 31 are a lot!!!! More likely Babs or Ehr/Anaplasmosis than Lyme!!!

Both can be seronegative!!! Both can cause renal failure-

BOTH are very very very treatable(!(_!!!!
