Chapter 2009 Heavy Metal Poisoning
Only then did Zhou Litao realize that Boss Zheng and Brother Yun must have something to do when they came to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Seeing their expressions, it should be this emergency room.
After taking the phone, Zhou Litao closed the door of the duty room, and walked over with Zheng Ren and Su Yun.
Zheng Ren saw the little assistant supporting Lin Jiaojiao as she staggered over. Doctors and nurses followed behind, taking care of Lin Jiaojiao for fear of falling.
And the diagnosis on the system panel... made Zheng Ren feel ridiculous.
Mercury poisoning!
Ataxia may indeed be caused by heavy metal poisoning, but how did Lin Jiaojiao suffer from mercury poisoning?
Mercury, a heavy metal, has a low melting point and evaporates at room temperature.
Mercury poisoning is more common in chronic form, which mainly occurs in production activities and is caused by long-term inhalation of mercury vapor and mercury compound dust.
The main symptoms of this heavy metal poisoning are mental-nervous abnormalities, gingivitis, and tremors.
Lin Jiaojiao is a businessman, a very successful businessman, can she engage in and get in touch with the production of mercury metal? Just kidding.
However, Zheng Ren immediately thought that many cosmetics were said to have excessive levels of mercury.
Because he is a straight man, there are not many people in Haicheng who can afford big brand cosmetics, so Zheng Ren didn't do a detailed research on it.
For straight men, all cosmetics have radiation, and the more expensive the radiation, the greater the dose.
"Sister Lin, how did you do this?" Su Yun went up and asked.
"I don't know, I've been very tired recently, and I couldn't speak clearly just now." Lin Jiaojiao said, "It's better now, it's okay to speak slowly, but I still don't have the strength to walk."
Her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.
Zhou Litao had already pushed out a wheelchair, let Lin Jiaojiao sit on it, and sent her to the emergency room.
"Sister Lin, let me tell you about the recent situation again, preferably in detail." Zheng Ren asked.
"Boss Zheng, I recently ran a project, and I may be quite busy, flying around, and I feel very tired." Lin Jiaojiao said: "Especially in the past week, I can't sleep well, and I always have nightmares. Every day... By the way, my feet are slightly swollen."
"Is there anything special about eating?" Zheng Ren asked.
"When I go out, I eat normally. When I go home, I eat more regularly. I mainly eat vegetables, supplemented by beef and mutton, and rarely eat carbohydrates." Lin Jiaojiao said.
Alas, Zheng Ren also felt a little helpless to be able to ask the word carbohydrates during the consultation.
He squatted down and took off Lin Jiaojiao's high heels.
She was wearing flesh-colored stockings, which was inconvenient. Although it looked easy to tear, Zheng Ren was not interested.
After pressing it, there is a depression, and there is indeed a problem of edema.
However, the depression recovered quickly, leaving no shocking traces on the surface.
The edema of the lower extremities should be considered mild, not severe.
A simple neurological examination can only show that the nerve reflex is slightly dull, but there is no pathological reflex.
It seems that there is nothing serious, Zheng Ren thought to himself.
"First do a routine urine test." Zheng Ren said, "Take a look at your kidney function, and by the way, take a look at your blood test and liver function."
Zhou Litao responded, and immediately took Lin Jiaojiao's little assistant to issue the inspection form.
There's a nurse here to draw blood.
"Sister Lin, what cosmetics have you been using recently? Is there a problem with the amount?" Zheng Ren asked directly, without any ambiguity or ambiguity.
Su Yun was startled, then looked at Lin Jiaojiao, and seemed to think of a certain possibility.
"Uh..." Lin Jiaojiao froze for a moment.
"Boss, do you suspect heavy metal poisoning?" Su Yun asked.
"Well, it's possible. If there is no problem with diet, Sister Lin will recover relatively quickly after an attack. Considering the possibility of heavy metal poisoning, compared to tumors and others..."
As Zheng Ren said, Lin Jiaojiao was startled by the word tumor.
She immediately started recalling, talking about a bunch of cosmetic brands.
"I usually use these, except for the whitening one, which I use more, there is no other change."
"Sister Lin, with your face, you lose three thousand yuan a day." Su Yun said with emotion.
Zheng Ren didn't feel anything about it.
"Brother Yun, don't make fun of me." Lin Jiaojiao seemed to have recovered a bit, and said sadly, "I'm not going to die, am I?"
"No, I guess it's heavy metal poisoning, let's do an examination first." Zheng Ren said: "In the acute stage, it's not serious. Once it's confirmed, it can recover after a period of treatment."
Lin Jiaojiao felt relieved.
But although it is not a tumor, heavy metal poisoning is scary enough. Then she asked worriedly: "Boss Zheng, how long will it take to recover?"
"Don't worry about making money for now." Zheng Ren couldn't laugh or cry, "The most important thing is to get the disease cured. Besides, what I just said is just a preliminary judgment, so don't worry."
Zhou Litao led the little assistant back, and asked Lin Jiaojiao to lie on the bed in the emergency room, measure her vital signs, and wait for the test results to come back.
Emergency laboratory tests, the results came out in about 10 minutes.
As Zheng Ren expected, there were no problems with the blood routine and liver function, and the protein was not low.
However, there is something wrong with the urine routine. Under the microscope, the urine leukocytes are 10-15/HPF, and the urine protein qualitative test is 500mg/dl. Renal function blood urea nitrogen and creatinine are slightly higher than normal, and the problem is not serious.
"Boss Zheng, the initial diagnosis can be judged to be nephrotic syndrome." Zhou Litao said while looking at the test sheet.
Zheng Ren nodded and said, "Heavy metal detection, can we do it at night?"
"I can't do it for now." Zhou Litao said helplessly.
Zheng Ren thought about it, and thought it would be better to report to Director Kong.
Picking up the phone, he called Director Kong to briefly report Lin Jiaojiao's situation, and proposed to do heavy metal testing.
Director Kong contacted the laboratory staff to work overtime. Zheng Ren asked the assistant to call and send Lin Jiaojiao's recent cosmetics.
Especially that bottle of whitening cosmetics that is commonly used recently, Zheng Ren highly suspects that the mercury content in it exceeds the standard.
After comforting Lin Jiaojiao a few words, telling her not to worry, if the problem is found, it will be healed soon, Zheng Ren returned to Zhou Litao's duty room.
"Boss Zheng, do you suspect heavy metal poisoning?" Zhou Litao asked.
"Well, diet is fine, the consideration is induced by cosmetics."
"Well……"
When it comes to cosmetics, Zhou Litao and Zheng Ren have similar perceptions. Among the three, only Su Yun is familiar with cosmetics.
Although Zheng Ren was a little curious, how much cosmetics would have to be bought for the girls to be so familiar with it!
I really can't imagine what Su Yun has experienced in the past.
Maybe he left the imperial capital at the beginning because a few girlfriends quarreled together, and maybe it was unbearable.
Director Kong's contact was also quick, and he personally went to pick up the people from the laboratory for blood and urine heavy metal testing.
