Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can understand your concern fully.I'm sure you can understand the health status of your grandmother, havingkidney failure with multiple strokes, UTI, with Alzheimer's, due to which, she can't recognize anyone.  UTI should be diagnosed on urine culture only. The kidney failure leads to severe anemia, that causes low iron levels(He), weakness in bones as well.  Some patients are also given an erythropoietin transfusion for that. If you can send me the reports in my name, I can advise treatment as an expert.  Chat Doctor.
