Chapter 910 (2/2)

The Han's hair is black and long. It's as good as some men.

The patient's husband looked at it and frowned, ”not before. Although she is a little fat, her skin is very good and white. It seems that she didn't have so many hairs before? So many things have happened during this time that I haven't noticed. ”

”Huh?” Xu Wei on one side also turned up the patient's trouser legs and looked, ”it's abnormal.”

Guo Xiang stared at the patient's face again. ”Look, what's her face like?”

”Face?” Xu Wei was stunned and looked at the patient. Because the patient was a little fat and had a round face, there was nothing wrong.

But what does Guo Xiang say?

Xu Wei looked at it again and was surprised, ”like a full moon face?”

Guo Xiang nodded. The full moon face is a medical term, which means that the patient's face becomes round after suffering from a certain disease, and it is very round, like the full moon, so it is called the full moon face.

Generally, the full moon face is caused by the long-term use of glucocorticoids.

Glucocorticoid is a very important hormone in the human body. It is essential to promote people's normal biological function, but once excessive, people will become very fat.

For example, some people use hormones to treat nephritis and asthma. People are easy to get fat and round like a balloon.

In addition to being fat, the hair grows very thick.

Look at the patient again. In addition to leg hair, the small lip hair around the lip is also darker than that of ordinary women.

”Has your lover had kidney disease before? Used hormones? ” Asked Guo Xiang.

”No, she's always in good health.” The patient's husband shook his head.

Is that the body secretes too much glucocorticoid?

Guo Xiang and Xu Wei looked at each other, ”Cushing syndrome?”

”What is Cushing's syndrome?” Asked the patient's husband.

”Cushing's syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by excessive secretion of glucocorticoids by the adrenal gland.” Guo Xiang said, ”there is a gland on our kidney called adrenal gland. Usually when we watch TV, the patient is dying. The doctors say to take adrenaline, that is, the adrenaline... ”

”The adrenal gland is an endocrine organ that can secrete many hormones, one of which is called glucocorticoid. Under the action of some reasons, excessive glucocorticoid secretion will cause a series of symptoms.”

”Such as full moon face, hypertension, hypokalemia, obesity and so on. Moreover, when these hormones act on the brain, they will cause mental symptoms. Some people are depressed and some people are manic, so your lover has not been hit or anything has happened, but he has mental problems because of this hormone. ” Guo Xiang said.

”Really? Can it be cured? ” As soon as a big stone in the heart of the patient's husband is put down, can it be cured by finding the reason?

He said, how can a lover suddenly become a psychopath when he is well.

Guo Xiang shook his head, ”but we haven't found the cause of Cushing's syndrome. As I said just now, the adrenal gland secretes too much glucocorticoid, but the normal human body will not secrete too much for no reason. There must be a reason. ”

”Can there be a tumor on the kidney that causes the adrenal gland to secrete glucocorticoid madly?” Xu Wei said.

”This possibility is not ruled out. It may also be the cause of the pituitary gland.” Guo Xiang said.

The pituitary gland can also secrete many hormones, one of which is called adrenocorticotropic hormone. This hormone acts on the kidney and can promote the adrenal gland to secrete glucocorticoids.

The human body is really very complex. It is connected one by one. The two organs you think have nothing to do are actually connected.

”If the patient has a pituitary tumor, it will also stimulate the adrenal gland to secrete more glucocorticoids.” Guo Xiang said.

The patient's husband looked confused. He didn't understand. He didn't care about the principle, as long as he found the reason and could cure it.
