Doc, I am tired. Medical Contest (medtest) #4

in #medicine6 years ago

A patient with fatigue and low energy

As mentioned by @gallantmayor medtest #3 was a bit more difficult. I have to keep trying to find a good match for our medical audience on SteemIt. So this time I will offer you a blood test to read and analyze.

This patient is complaining of feeling generally unwell, tired all the time. Her blood test is shown here, normal values are in the right column.

Please create a post with answers to the following questions about this patient's Cause of Fatigue:

  1. What is the abnormality on her blood test?
  2. What are some possible causes of this condition?
  3. How would you investigate the cause and treat this condition if this was your patient?

You have till next Saturday, Jan 27 to write a post with your answers. I will review the entries and announce a winner on Sunday Jan 28.
Good luck and have fun!

How to create a link on SteemIt

I feel like I'm back in school

is it a bad feeling? ; )

Glad to hear that. I am trying to make it different from school - you can skip the classes (contests) without penalty, although I am hoping they could be fun to play : )
Thank you for stopping by to check it out and your vote of confidence!
