Chapter 1035

"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."

"Autologous bone marrow transplantation is bone marrow transplantation, but unlike leukemia, this bone marrow can use its own, does not need matching, and is not afraid of rejection."

In fact, some leukemias can also be transplanted with autologous bone marrow in later generations.

"How can you still use your own bone marrow?" The patient was puzzled.

"It is treated, that is, take out a part of your own bone marrow, kill cancer cells after treatment, and then inject it into the bone marrow again. But our hospital already has a stem cell separator to separate stem cells, kill cancer cells, and then inject good stem cells back into your body. "

"But the cost of this operation is very high. It costs 10000 or 20000 yuan." Guo Xiang said.

This operation will cost more than 100000 or 200000 in future generations. Now, in the early 1990s, 10000 or 20000 is still needed.

"So expensive?" The patient's daughter cried. Now the salary is only three or four hundred and one months, three or four thousand a year, and it will take several years.

Her mother's generation had less money and had almost no savings for a lifetime.

This is how people can live well when they are not ill. As long as they are seriously ill, they can only have enough money to see a doctor for a lifetime.

So some people say that people use their life to make money in the first half of their life and use money to make life in the second half of their life.

"You see, if you want to cure it, go and collect the medical expenses?" Guo Xiang said that now public hospitals have to pay first to treat diseases, not to mention that she is a private hospital.

"I don't have enough money now. Let's go back and raise money first." The patient said that her life savings were only a few thousand yuan, which was not enough.

"OK!" Guo Xiang nodded, or whether they should see the nature. They has the final say, and she told them all the money they need and the money they need to spend.

When they went out, Guo Xiang heard them say outside.

"Mom, it's too expensive. Let's go to another hospital?"

"Yes!"

Guo Xiang smiled and said that the stem cell separator is only available here. Other hospitals really don't have it, but it's not impossible to directly extract bone marrow, or it's even more painful.

If you go to the cancer hospital, it's OK. The beds in public hospitals are tight and not so easy to see.

Each has its pros and cons.

There are no patients for the time being. Guo Xiang inputs the medical records into the computer. There is no network yet, but she has already bought a computer. Some data can still be saved in the computer for future search.

At this time, footsteps came in. Guo Xiang looked up and found that it was Yuli, the woman who said she was pregnant with Gu Zhennan's child.

It's April now. The weather is warm, but it's not hot yet. Yuli has put on a skirt, and it's a maternity skirt. It's still rare in this period.

She came to make trouble in December. At that time, it was found that she had been pregnant for more than a month. Now it should be more than five months. Her stomach was very big. I don't know if it was because she was wearing a skirt.

She looks very beautiful in a bright red maternity dress and light makeup, but it's a little too fashionable in this era.

Guo Xiang gave her a faint look, "come for a pregnancy test?"

Last time, I was going to sue Fu Peiwen. Later, because Fu Peiwen failed after the accident, the money promised to Yuli naturally hasn't been given. Is this the money today?
