Kris Aquino is back in the hospital after an "alarming" blood test result.
Kris Aquino was hospitalized again after her most recent blood test yielded alarming results.
On Instagram on Tuesday, August 19, Kris shared a photo of herself at the hospital.
In the caption of her post, the former actress and TV host shared that she came in for her second dose of Rituximab, an antibody medication primarily used to treat certain types of cancers and autoimmune diseases.
According to Kris, her doctor found something in her blood panel results that was alarming, and convinced her to have an ultrasound.
“With all my hospitalizations, I can already tell na dapat na kong kabahan pag umakyat na yung senior technician…” Kris shared.
She added that three more specialists came to explain things to her, and let her know how important it was not to delay to prevent her from endangering her life further.
“Parang kulang pa 'yung mahirap ng bilangin na 'life threatening' autoimmune diseases ko,” she shared.

Kris revealed that ever since she was confined in the hospital, her son Bimby has not been able to sleep well; while her panganay, Josh, also came to visit her.
“Doctor NC told me that he doesn't do procedures unless they are necessary but this is something all my doctors discussed- why does Kris Aquino get these difficult to detect possible health time bombs not once but twice in her lifetime and because of the first, we now all know she's allergic to all blood thinners,” Kris said.
According to Kris, she was given a non-invasive option, but chose to trust Filipino doctors with her life rather than take the medicine she described as something she's not sure of. Her decision also came from finishing a big dose of a strong immunosuppressant while continuing to take two immunosuppressants, supplements, and vitamins.
In the end, Kris asked for prayers, both for her and her doctors, the nurses and technicians, “'Wag sana kayo sumuko sa pagdasal dahil kumukuha ako ng lakas galing sa kabutihang loob ninyo.”
