Carla Abellana shared that her last hospitalization almost led to sepsis given the complications in her kidney stones and urinary tract infection (UTI), but assured that she’s now well and has been cleared to return to work.

In an interview with “24 Oras,” Abellana said she has been confined for three days until she “begged” to go home. 

“Doon ko nalaman na may complications na pala, kidney stones, UTI, muntik nako mag-sepsis so na-confine ako for three days hanggang sa nag-beg na akong umuwi kasi na-miss ko na ‘yung mga aso ko tsaka kailangan ko na bumalik ng trabaho,” she stated.

(That’s when I found out that there were complications, kidney stones, UTI, I almost got sepsis so I was confined for three days until I begged to go home because I missed my dogs and I needed to go back to work.)

“Pero thankfully pinayagan naman akong umuwi. Wala ng infection. Okay na clear na ‘yung blood test, x-ray, everything ano na lang talaga ubo,” added the Kapuso actress.

(But thankfully I was allowed to go home. No infection. Everything is okay, the blood test, x-ray, everything is clear. I’m only left with a cough.)

As defined by the Mayo Clinic, sepsis is a dramatic drop in blood pressure that can “progress to septic shock.” When the damage is severe, it can lead to death.

On the other hand, the clinic described kidney stones “painful” as they can affect the urinary tract—from kidneys to bladders—which could lead to UTI, an infection in any part of the urinary system.

Last month, the “Rosalinda” star took to Instagram to share that she has been hospitalized due to an undisclosed condition, as she also appealed for prayers.

At the time, Abellana remarked that she had been suffering from “so much pain” and “discomfort.”

Meanwhile, the 38-year-old actress also voiced out her opinion on the viral issue regarding a Tagaytay restaurant that denied entry to a pet owner with an Aspin (asong Pinoy) because of the latter’s “breed and size.”

“Dear establishments, please do not advertise as “pet friendly” if in fact you are breed-particular,” she wrote on her recent Instagram post.

Abellana currently stars in the crime mystery drama “Widows War,” alongside Bea Alonzo.
