Okay, good! Almost done now.

Have you been told you have any of the following:

  • kidney disease (such as kidney failure, renal failure, renal insufficiency, protein in the urine)
  • abnormal tendency to form blood clots, as in the legs or lungs
  • anemia with red cell breakdown (hemolysis)
  • a low white blood cell count
  • low platelet counts
  • liver or thyroid disease?

Yes, I have been told of one or more of those problems.

No, I don't think I've had any of those.
