IF a CAT Scan of a person's head shows advanced atrophy with white matter disease. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?

This also showed white matter disease with no mass effect or midline shift, no evidence of intracranial hemorrage?
Chest X RAY indicating cardiomegaly with no infiltrates or effusions.
Obstruction series indicating no free air with no obstrucitons or dilations
Abdominal ultrasound showing bilateral moderate hydronephrosis, urinary bladder wall thickening, and mild gallbladder wall thickening, and ,mild gallbladder wall thickening without gallstones. REpeat renal ultrasound prior to discharge indicated no hydronephrosis,, calculus, or perinephric fluid collections.

Does carbon monoxide poisoning cause these symptoms???
What does this all mean.

As a healthcare provider my guess is that this is not your tests.....unless you are of more advanced age than I am getting an impression of. No, this is not carbon monoxide poisoning. Advanced atrophy and white matter disease is usually advanced age and is associated with changes in mental status.(dementia, confusion,memory loss). This is not always....but usually. It also means these problems cannot be reversed. Cardiomegaly is an enlarged heart....usually happens with congestive heart disease....which seems to be unrelated to problems as there is no infiltrated or effusions (these can also be related to lung disease....like pneumonia....but I don't think this was what they were looking for considering what tests were ordered...and is not present anyway) The rest of the tests concerning the bowels was normal. The tests related to the kidneys were returned to normal at discharge. So, in all, it looks like changes associated with age. No acute problems. I have limited history from you....so this is a guess. I bet you are asking because you were told basically what I said and you are wondering why the symptoms occurred and looking for other causes.... If I can answer you better....e-mail me.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning is probably not the cause of those symptoms. If one has carbon monoxide poisoning, they need to get treatment right away or they will die. CO (carbon monoxide) attaches to the hemoglobin over 200 times faster than does oxygen. The lips and the finger nail beds turn bright cherry red. Death soon follows.

All right the chest xray looks like this patient has an enlarged heart. However the lungs seem to be clear. I am not sure why the gallbladder wall would be thickening. I am also not sure of the white matter disease.

Good luck
