Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 My patient's 24 yer old son lives in Santa . He has a history of aortic stenosis from birth. He walks 5 miles per day and maintains a very low weight for height. He has started losing hair. I am hearing everything third hard. The dermatologist said his iron is low and suggested a multi with iron. could be low just from the walking? could be other issues? Also - protein may be inadequate - a problem on many fronts. His mother said he would see a dietitian/nutritionist for an evaluation. Any recommendations or self-referrals would be appreciated.
