Only then did Zhou Litao remember that something must have happened to Boss Zheng and Brother Yun when they came to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Judging from their expressions, this must be the 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 assistant staggering over, supporting Lin Jiaojiao. Doctors and nurses followed behind, taking care of Lin Jiaojiao for fear of falling.
And the diagnosis of the system panel... made Zheng Ren feel ridiculous.
Mercury poisoning!
Ataxia may indeed be caused by heavy metal poisoning, but how did Lin Jiaojiao develop mercury poisoning
Mercury, a heavy metal with a low melting point, evaporates at room temperature.
Mercury poisoning is mostly chronic and mainly occurs during production activities due to long-term inhalation of mercury vapor and mercury compound dust.
This kind of heavy metal poisoning has mental-neurological abnormalities, gingivitis, and tremor as the main symptoms.
Lin Jiaojiao is a businessman, a very successful businessman. How can she be engaged in and come into contact with the production of mercury metal? Just kidding.
However, Zheng Ren immediately thought that the content of mercury in many cosmetics was said to exceed the standard.
Because he is a straight man, there are not many people in Haicheng who can afford big brand cosmetics, so Zheng Ren has not done detailed research on this.
For straight men, all cosmetics contain radiation, and the more expensive the product, the greater the radiation dose.
"Sister Lin, how did you do this?" Su Yun stepped forward and asked.
"I don't know. I've been very tired recently. I couldn't speak clearly just now." Lin Jiaojiao said, "I'm feeling better now. I can speak more slowly, but I still have no strength to walk."
Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.
Zhou Litao had already pushed a wheelchair out, asked Lin Jiaojiao to sit on it, and sent her to the emergency room.
"Sister Lin, tell me again the recent situation, preferably in more detail." Zheng Ren asked.
"Boss Zheng, I have been working on a project recently. I may have been quite busy, flying around, and I feel very tired." Lin Jiaojiao said: "In the past week, I haven't been able to 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, mainly vegetables, supplemented by beef and mutton, and rarely eat carbohydrates." Lin Jiaojiao said.
Alas, Zheng Ren also felt a little helpless when the word "carbohydrate" was asked 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 had no interest in it.
After pressing it, there was a dent, indicating that there was indeed a problem of edema.
However, the depression quickly recovered, leaving no shocking traces on the surface.
The edema of the lower limbs should be considered mild, not serious.
A simple neurological examination can only reveal a slight sluggishness of nerve reflexes, but no pathological reflexes.
It looks like it's nothing serious, Zheng Ren thought to himself.
"Let's do a urine routine first." Zheng Ren said, "Test the kidney function, and also take a look at the blood routine and liver function."
Zhou Litao responded and immediately took Lin Jiaojiao's assistant to draw out the inspection list.
A nurse is here to draw blood.
"Sister Lin, what cosmetics have you used recently? Is there any problem with the dosage?" Zheng Ren asked very directly, without any subtleties or ambiguities.
Su Yun was startled for a moment, then looked at Lin Jiaojiao and seemed to have thought of some possibility.
"Uh..." Lin Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment.
"Boss, do you suspect heavy metal poisoning?" Su Yun asked.
"Well, it's possible. If there is no problem with her diet, Sister Lin will recover relatively quickly after an attack. Consider the possibility of heavy metal poisoning, compared with tumors and other..."
As Zheng Ren said, Lin Jiaojiao was frightened by the word tumor.
She immediately started recalling and talked about a lot of cosmetics brands.
"These are the ones I usually use. There are no other changes except that I use the whitening one more often."
"Sister Lin, your face is worth three thousand yuan a day." Su Yun said with emotion.
Zheng Renze had no feeling at all.
"Brother Yun, please stop teasing me." Lin Jiaojiao seemed to have recovered a little, and said sadly: "I'm not going to die."
"No, I think it's heavy metal poisoning. Let's get checked first." Zheng Ren said: "In the acute stage, it's not serious. If it is confirmed, it can be recovered after a period of treatment."
Lin Jiaojiao was relieved.
But even though it's not a tumor, heavy metal poisoning is scary enough. She then asked worriedly: "Boss Zheng, how long will it take to get better?"
"Don't worry about making money now." Zheng Ren couldn't laugh or cry, "The most important thing is to cure the disease. Besides, what I just said is just a preliminary judgment, so don't be impatient."
Zhou Litao led his assistant back and asked Lin Jiaojiao to lie on the bed in the emergency room, taking her vital signs and waiting for the test results to be reported.
For emergency tests, the results came out in about 10 minutes.
As Zheng Ren expected, there were no problems with blood routine and liver function, and the protein was not low.
However, there was something wrong with the urine routine. The urine white blood cells under the microscope were 10-15/HPF, and the qualitative urine protein test was 500 mg/dl. Renal function, urea nitrogen and creatinine are both slightly higher than normal, and the problem is not serious.
"Boss Zheng, the preliminary diagnosis can be determined to be nephrotic syndrome." Zhou Litao said while looking at the test sheet.
Zheng Ren nodded and said, "Heavy metal testing, can we do it at night?"
"We can't do it for the time being." Zhou Litao said helplessly.
Zheng Ren thought for a while and thought it would be better to report to Director Kong.
Picking up the phone, she called Director Kong to briefly report on Lin Jiaojiao's situation, and proposed to do heavy metal testing.
Director Kong contacted the staff of the laboratory department to work overtime. Zheng Ren asked the assistant to call and have all the cosmetics Lin Jiaojiao used recently delivered.
Especially for the bottle of whitening cosmetics that was commonly used recently, Zheng Ren highly suspected that the mercury content in it exceeded the standard.
After comforting Lin Jiaojiao with a few words and telling her not to worry, as long as the problem was found, it would be cured soon, Zheng Ren returned to Zhou Litao's duty room.
"Boss Zheng, do you suspect heavy metal poisoning?" Zhou Litao asked.
"Well, the diet is fine. I think it was caused by cosmetics."
"Well… "
When it comes to cosmetics, Zhou Litao and Zheng Ren have similar perceptions. Among the three people, Su Yun is the only one who is familiar with cosmetics.
Although Zheng Ren is a little curious, how many cosmetics must be bought for girls to be so familiar with it!
I really can't imagine what Su Yun has gone through before.
Maybe he left the imperial capital because several of his girlfriends got into a fight and couldn't bear to be disturbed.
Director Kong’s contact was also very fast. He personally went to pick up someone from the laboratory department for blood and urine heavy metal testing.
