What is the diagnosis for a patient with a CT abdomen showing no hydronephrosis, mild ileus or nonspecific gastroenteritis, diverticulosis, possible faint gallstones or sludge, multiple small ovarian follicles, leukocytosis with bandemia and lymphocytopenia, metabolic acidosis, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), and hematuria with proteinuria and bacteriuria?

Differential Diagnosis

  • Single Most Likely Diagnosis
    • Pyelonephritis: The presence of moderate blood in urine, proteinuria (30), and moderate bacteria in the urine, along with elevated CRP (41.2), suggests an infectious process involving the kidneys. The absence of hydronephrosis and ureteral stones makes an obstructive cause less likely, but the clinical and laboratory findings point towards an infection.
  • Other Likely Diagnoses
    • Gastroenteritis: The finding of fluid in portions of the small bowel and colon, which may be due to mild ileus or nonspecific gastroenteritis, along with the laboratory findings of band absolute 1.2 and lymphocytes absolute 0.6, could suggest a gastrointestinal infection.
    • Cholecystitis or Biliary Colic: Although the CT scan does not show pericholecystic inflammatory change, gallbladder wall thickening, or biliary ductal dilatation, the possible faint density in the gallbladder could represent small gallstones or sludge, which might cause intermittent symptoms.
  • Do Not Miss Diagnoses
    • Septic Abortion or Ectopic Pregnancy: Given the presence of multiple small follicles in the ovaries, it's crucial to consider pregnancy-related complications, especially in a female patient of childbearing age. Although the provided information does not directly suggest pregnancy, missing an ectopic pregnancy or septic abortion could be catastrophic.
    • Ovarian Torsion: The finding of multiple small follicles in the ovaries, particularly with the left being greater than the right, could also suggest ovarian pathology. Ovarian torsion is a surgical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and intervention.
  • Rare Diagnoses
    • Systemic Vasculitis: The combination of renal involvement (suggested by blood and protein in the urine) and gastrointestinal symptoms could, in rare cases, suggest a systemic vasculitis. However, this would be less likely without additional symptoms such as skin rash, joint pain, or more specific laboratory findings indicative of autoimmune disease.
    • Tuberculosis: Although less common, tuberculosis can affect multiple systems, including the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and ovaries. The presence of moderate bacteria in the urine might not be solely due to common urinary pathogens, but this diagnosis would require more specific findings or risk factors.
