Chapter 1118 (1/2)

Guo Xiang arranged for the patient to do brain MRI and found that there was a problem.

It's ”central pontine myelinolysis”.

Ordinary people may not know this. This is generally caused by the correction of hyponatremia patients too quickly, but this patient is hypernatremia, which may also be caused by acute hypernatremia.

”Give the patient glucocorticoids!” Guo Xiangkai's medical advice.

The patient gradually recovered a little after the hormone was used.

But the patient is very thin. According to his husband, he is still very thin in the near future. He lost 20 kilograms in a short time.

This is not normal. It may be paraneoplastic syndrome.

Guo Xiang arranged another examination, but he checked the whole body and found no tumor.

But if it's not a tumor, why do you lose so fast?

”You said before that your lover only eats bread and cans for fear of being hurt?” Guo Xiang asked the patient's husband again.

”Yes, she only eats these two things, so the doctor will find out that she is malnourished or something.” The patient's husband nodded, ”is it because of this that she suddenly became so thin?”

Guo Xiang shook his head. ”Before that, those rural people had no food to eat. They didn't suddenly lose weight when they ate bran and swallow vegetables. Besides, bread and cans were a little single, which was much better than those who didn't eat?”

”There are other reasons.” Guo Xiang thought for a while and said, ”there's something strange. You can drink more than two kilograms of salt water in one breath?”

”Yes, it's so salty that my stomach cramps. We normal people can't drink it. We'll vomit when we drink it. How did she drink it?” Xu Wei also felt strange.

”So there should be something wrong with her stomach.” Guo Xiang thought and asked the patient's husband, ”didn't you say that the doctor prescribed a lot of medicine for your lover, which was useless?”

”Yes, I took the medicine on time. I supervised her to take it. I was afraid she didn't remember. I watched her take it every day.” The patient's husband nodded.

”I suspect it's because of gastrointestinal problems, so those drugs haven't been absorbed at all.” Guo Xiang said, ”and she only eats bread and cans...”

Guo Xiang pondered, ”Xu Wei, go to the patient for gastrointestinal endoscopy and TG2 antibody examination immediately.”

Xu Wei was surprised, ”do you suspect celiac disease?”

”Yes, I'm allergic to gluten. Celiac disease can cause brain damage.” Guo Xiang said.

”OK, I'll check it right away!” Xu Wei nodded. He didn't think of it at all.

As a result, TG2 was indeed positive, which was celiac disease. To put it bluntly, it was allergic to gluten, including gluten containing foods, such as bread, noodles and other flour products.

Some people who are sensitive to gluten do not have gastrointestinal diseases, but they will have neurological and mental abnormalities after eating pasta foods, such as headache, depression, schizophrenia and epilepsy.

Celiac disease is a systemic immune disease mediated by glutenin and glutenin in genetically susceptible individuals, that is, the allergic reaction caused by the human body's maladjustment to gluten.

The patient had intestinal inflammation, intestinal epithelial tissue was damaged, and the absorption of nutrients was hindered over time.

However, she only eats bread and cans, which leads to even less nutrition, anemia, vitamin deficiency, extreme thin and schizophrenia.

Because it was not correctly diagnosed, the condition became more and more serious.

As a result, I listened to the news that salt could detoxify. As a result, drinking a lot of salt water led to sodium poisoning.
