But I will tell you as a physician who's been practicing for decades at this point,
voice-verified
what would be on my differential diagnosis, meaning what I would think of in seeing someone who's almost 80 years old with a bruising and with a swelling, the first thought that I would have would be congestive heart failure.
voice-verified
The first thing I would think would be congestive heart failure.
voice-verified
And I know that they're saying that he doesn't have it, but let's just say based on appearance, age, and likelihood.
voice-verified
6.7 million Americans have congestive heart failure.
voice-verified
And when you have that,
voice-verified
It can cause a backup of fluid and give you those swollen ankles, swollen legs like he has.
voice-verified
If you have congestive heart failure, the treatment would be to give you a water pill like a diuretic.
voice-verified
Most average Americans will take pills by mouth.
voice-verified
But if you're the president and you have access, you could take an IV water pill like Lasix.
voice-verified
And what would you use?
voice-verified
You would use your veins in your hands.
voice-verified
OK, you would have IVs in your hands.
voice-verified
Not saying that this is what he's done, but just telling you how my mind is working when I look at his hand.
voice-verified
If indeed he is on aspirin or blood thinner and he's getting IVs, then that could explain this non-minor bruising.
voice-verified
This is pretty significant bruising, but of course that would help his swelling to go down.
voice-verified
The other thing that could happen potentially, I don't know for him, I'm not his physician, I would suspect that if you're getting a lot of water pills through the IV, that could cause your kidneys to not work as well.
voice-verified
which could also cause you to have a backup of fluid.
voice-verified
I am a board-certified kidney doctor.
voice-verified
I see this every day.
