What could be the cause of my elevated iron saturation percentage?

Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I reviewed all your tests (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).Your serum transferrin saturation suggests hemochromatosis, but it is an initial screening test, and your ferritin is not that high. Your liver enzymes are also normal, so there is nothing to worry about. However, I suggest these iron studies should be repeated after six months.

What are dilated bile duct symptoms?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I reviewed the history and MRCP (magnetic resonance cholangio pancreatography) report (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) of your mother.

Is left-sided abdominal pain with ileostomy an emergency?

Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.I understand your concern.A patient with suspected Crohn's disease can have some discomfort due to a stricture or narrowing or inflammation in the bowel.

I get recurrent diarrhea and doctor suggested sensitive intestine. What is my problem?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As you described this condition to be lasting for more than a year, it can be IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), but IBS usually starts at an earlier age than this, although it can happen at any age. That is why it is important to rule out all organic causes before labeling it as a sensitive bowel. Please answer the following questions to rule out organic causes. Do you have any weight loss with it? How many episodes of loose stools do you have in 24 hours? Do you get up in the night for stools? Do you have any crampy abdominal pain with it? Is there any blood in the stools or mucus? Is your sleep disturbed? Any stress? Any travel history to the tropics? Was any biopsy taken during the colonoscopy to rule out microscopic colitis? Meanwhile, do a few of these lab tests and start this treatment in addition to probiotics, but the tablet should be taken four hours apart from probiotics.

Sometimes people cannot digest fibers and carbohydrates well, which leads to such high frequency. I will recommend that you use some treatment, and it will help out.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I reviewed your CT scan (computed tomography) report (reports removed to protect the patient's identity) and your history. There is no diverticulitis; only colonic diverticula has been seen. Your history is also not suggestive of diverticulitis, and 2nd diverticulitis does not last for months. Your stress has a role in aggravating your symptoms.

My daughter has food allergies, mesenteric adenitis, and tubular adenoma. Please help.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I reviewed all the biopsy reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), the reports are all normal except for one rectal polyp. Also, there are no findings suggestive of any allergic disorders, especially food allergies or eosinophilic enteritis. These biopsies have no clues for loose stools. In my opinion, there are no significant abnormalities in these reports to explain her complaints.
