I have hashimoto's disease. i also have sterile pyuria, and am positive for ana and crp readings. could these readings be caused by leukemia?

No: These are all signs and symptoms of autoimmune disease and have nothing to do with leukemia.

No: Sterile pyuria can be caused by infection- especially fungal and tb; systemic inflammation-like autoimmune disease, sarcoid; drug related, stones, malignancy etc. No the increase of ANA and CRP are not equal to leukemia. I am more concerned of chronic inflammation/infection and autoimmune condition- especially that you also have autoimmune disease on your thyroid gland/hashimoto's.
