Chapter 1035 (1/2)
”What's my mother's disease?” Asked the patient's daughter.
”I suspect it is' primary systemic amyloidosis'.” Guo Xiang said.
”What transgender?” Mother and daughter are in a fog and haven't heard of it. Most people say kidney disease, heart disease and leukemia. Even purple epilepsy rarely hears and knows a little. What's amyloidosis?
”Did you eat too much starch? What does it have to do with starch? ” Asked the patient.
”It has nothing to do with starch.” Guo Xiang shook his head. ”It is a disease in which proteins in the body deposit in the extracellular tissue space of the whole body like starch, thereby destroying the function of cells and organs.”
”Like your mother now, deposition on the skin is amyloidosis of the skin, so it bleeds when touched. There is not only the skin, but also her tongue. Look at her tongue, it's so big. Those on it are not tongue coating but also protein deposition. Not only that, she said those uncomfortable places...”
”I suspect that there are problems. The disease is that amyloid deposits can cause lesions wherever they are. For example, deposits in the heart lead to cardiac insufficiency, deposits in the kidney lead to kidney damage until uremia, and damage to any organ.”
The mother and daughter's faces changed greatly, ”then none of my mother's internal organs is good?” Asked the patient's daughter.
”I don't know yet, so I want to check it. I want to make a comprehensive inspection.” Guo Xiang stressed.
”This disease is also a clinical manifestation of myeloma. The serious point is myeloma, but the treatment methods are similar. They all need hormone or chemotherapy, or bone marrow autotransplantation!” Guo Xiang said.
”Chemotherapy, transplantation? Is this cancer? ” The mother and daughter were surprised.
”If you don't reach the level of myeloma, you still have to treat it like this. It's a more serious disease.” Guo Xiang said, ”of course, we still need to make a diagnosis. Let's check it first?”
The mother and daughter looked at each other. The daughter pulled her mother to the door, ”Mom, why don't we change a hospital? I heard it's valuable here!”
”But what if doctors in other hospitals don't know about the disease? You see, we haven't seen other hospitals before. We have suffered so many crimes and taken so many drugs, but we haven't found out... ”The patient is worried.
”Then who knows if what she said is true? I heard that private hospitals are black hearted.” The patient's daughter tilted her mouth.
The mother is in a complicated mood. Her daughter is not willing to give up money. ”I still have some savings. Let the eldest and second come over tomorrow...”
”Mom, that's not what I mean.” The patient's daughter blushed.
”I'd better see it in this hospital. I don't want to make trouble. I have to check it in other hospitals. I've inquired about it. The equipment in this hospital is imported. I can check what others can't find. I want to treat it. I don't want to die.” The patient's face is a little ugly.
”Mom, I didn't say I wouldn't let you treat it,... Alas, forget it, just check it!” The patient's daughter is helpless. She doesn't want to bear the reputation of unfilial.
When the two men came to Guo Xiang again, the patient said, ”doctor, please check it. What tests do you want to do?”
”Good!” Guo Xiang nodded, ”but there are a lot of inspections. You can't finish them in a day or two. Let's be hospitalized!”
”OK, I'll be hospitalized.” The patient nodded.
Guo Xiang gave the patient a hospitalization form, then various checklists and said some precautions.
After a few days, the results showed that it was systemic amyloidosis. In fact, it was similar to bone marrow cancer, but the indicators were relatively light, and it was almost achieved. All organs had varying degrees of damage.
Or according to the method of bone marrow cancer.
”One is chemotherapy, the other is autologous bone marrow transplantation!” Guo Xiang said, ”chemotherapy is to use cancer drugs, which may take more than half a year. This disease can not be completely cured, but can only improve the quality of life.”
