Parathyroid gland is one of human endocrine glands. It grows behind the thyroid gland, on both sides of the throat of the neck.
The human body has two pairs of parathyroid glands, brown yellow and shaped like soybeans. Generally, they can't be touched. They can be seen only through images.
Its main function is to secrete parathyroid hormone and regulate the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body.
If the parathyroid function is low or completely removed, the secretion of parathyroid hormone is insufficient, which will reduce the blood calcium and gradually increase the blood phosphorus, resulting in hypocalcemic convulsions and even death.
However, if hyperparathyroidism and excessive hormone secretion make bone calcium enter the blood and strengthen the absorption of calcium by the kidney, resulting in abnormal deposition of calcium salt in some tissues and pathological calcification of the tissues, kidney stones may be formed.
Due to the decrease of bone calcium, it is easy to cause fracture.
Like workers, this situation may be osteoporosis, kidney stones, bone deformation, hyperplasia and so on caused by hyperparathyroidism.
Guo Xiang took the workers to the CT room to scan the parathyroid gland. Sure enough, the parathyroid gland had an adenoma, which was obvious.
After checking the kidney, there are also kidney stones, which can be basically determined.
Then draw blood, check blood calcium and blood phosphorus, and urine. It is obvious that blood calcium is too high, blood phosphorus is too low, and the excretion of calcium in urine is significantly increased. It can be diagnosed as hyperparathyroidism, not bone cancer.
"How to treat it now?" Gu Zhennan asked.
"Surgery." Guo Xiang said, "if it is secondary hyperparathyroidism, it is generally conservative treatment, and medication is OK. However, he said, "this is primary. The effect of medication is not good. If you want surgery, you have to remove the diseased parathyroid gland."
"Is there any danger?" Gu Zhennan asked again.
"There should be no danger. The biggest risk is laryngeal function damage. It is mainly because parathyroid gland is closely related to laryngeal cartilage, laryngeal muscle and laryngeal nerve. In particular, the laryngeal nerve is very small. In many cases, the parathyroid gland is directly attached to the laryngeal nerve. "
"It is easy to damage laryngeal function during operation, resulting in hoarseness and even dyspnea. But I try to do minimally invasive, there should be no big problem. " Guo Xiang said.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" The workers are very grateful.
"But even after the operation, you have to rest at home for three years and can't work. Your bones have been seriously deformed and can't work." Guo Xiang said.
The workers look gloomy. What do their families eat after three years of no work?
"Don't worry, when you are well, you are still welcome to the oilfield!" Gu Zhennan patted the worker on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu!" The worker nodded.
Guo Xiang began to arrange surgery for the workers.
She didn't know that the workers only rested for a year after coming home. With strong willpower, she exercised every day and resumed work a year later.
Of course, this is later.
Soon in April, it was warm.
There are more and more patients in the hospital, and the personnel of various departments are full. Guo Xiang has imported some advanced medical equipment, and the scale of the hospital is becoming larger and larger.
However, with the increase of patients, especially critical patients, ICU doctors are not enough.
Originally, all patients in ICU are critically ill. If the patient dies carelessly, his family members are easy to make trouble. The doctors have great work pressure, and the medical level is higher than that of general departments. Moreover, because different critically ill patients are sent to ICU, almost all ICU doctors are general practitioners, who need to know everything and have high requirements.
Also because patients are critically ill, they often have to be guarded 24 hours a day, and doctors have to be there at night. When there are more people, the doctors in the hospital are not enough.
Guo Xiang said this. Zeng Jing introduced a former colleague to Guo Xiang. She has been in the United States and has plans to return home recently. Zeng Jing just told her about the hospital.
As soon as the man inquired, he knew that there was such a good hospital in China, and immediately promised to come.
Guo Xiang personally went to the airport to pick up people. She didn't hesitate to put down her body to meet a doctor with excellent medical skills.
After arriving at the airport, the flight arrived soon, and someone came out one after another.
Guo Xiang didn't know the doctor's appearance. She held a sign with the name "Yuan Mei" in her hand. When they came out, she knew she was coming to pick her up.
After waiting for a while, Guo Xiang suddenly saw Fu Peiwen coming out in a wheelchair. Behind him, a man was helping push the wheelchair. It seemed to be her mother.
Guo Xiang was stunned. Didn't she go to America for treatment? Is this not cured?
Fu Peiwen also saw Guo Xiang and looked at Guo Xiang coldly like a poisonous snake.
Guo Xiang frowned and bravely met him. He was not afraid. Why do you want to fight again?
Fu's mother felt the chill on Fu Peiwen, bent down and asked, "what's the matter, Peiwen?"
She hasn't seen Guo Xiang and doesn't know it's her.
"It's all right!" Fu Peiwen looked away and didn't want her mother to be careless. Her parents repeatedly warned her not to provoke Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan, but how could she swallow this tone? If it weren't for them, how could she become a loser?
She must take revenge, but she can't let her parents know, otherwise they will stop herself.
Guo Xiang sneered, what is to blame herself? All this was caused by herself.
But when I saw Fu Peiwen, I reminded myself that it must be no good for her to come back. I want Ye Qian to pay attention to it. And at home, anyone who should use bodyguards should use it.
At this time, someone came to Guo Xiang and shouted, "are you President Guo?"
Guo Xiang turned and saw the woman in front of him. Sure enough, she was as beautiful as her name. If she didn't know she was a doctor, she thought she was a star.
"Are you Dr. Yuan Mei?" Guo Xiang smiles.
"It's me!" Yuan Mei also smiled, "please bother president Guo to pick me up!"
"It's my honor for you to come to our hospital!" Guo Xiang smiled and took Yuan Mei's luggage. "Is this the only box?"
"Yes, some things have been sent home, and everything that should be thrown away!" Yuan Mei smiled.
Guo Xiang nodded, "now it's warm, and it's enough to have clothes with you. The hospital has prepared a house for you. You can check in with your bag. "
"Thank you, President Guo!" Yuan Mei is very happy. She has heard of Zeng Jing about the hospital. It is good to have such conditions. She may not find a second one in China.
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I'll try my best to help you solve those that can be solved!" Guo Xiang said.
"Well, I'm welcome." Yuan Mei smiled. Unexpectedly, Guo Xiang was such a talkative person, and he was also very beautiful.
She is Yan Kong. With such a good-looking colleague and boss, she will be happier at work.
"However, the work of ICU in our hospital is very arduous. You should be psychologically prepared!" Guo Xiang gave Yuan Mei a preventive injection.
Although he is a private doctor, because the hospital has a good reputation and can treat many diseases that others can't treat, there is no shortage of patients now. All departments are very busy.
"Yes, so I'm here to share your worries and solve your problems!" Yuan Mei said.
Guo Xiang smiles, that's good.
"Wait here for me. I'll drive the car." Guo Xiang said.
When Guo Xiang drove over, Yuan Mei saw that she was driving an Audi and raised her eyebrows. It seems that President Guo is very rich.
