  2. East Palestine, Ohio Train Derailment

What kind of screening does the East Liverpool City Hospital's East Palestine Clinic offer related to the train derailment?

The screening tests are based on recommendations by specialists in toxicology to monitor anyone exposed to substances from the train derailment. The tests include urine and blood tests. A urinalysis is done that looks for problems involving the kidneys. The blood tests include a complete blood count (CBC) and a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP). The CBC looks at the white blood cells, red blood cells and the platelets. The CMP looks for problems with electrolytes, the kidneys and the liver. 

This week’s questions are answered by Dr. Gretchen Nickell, Chief Medical Officer of the East Liverpool City Hospital, and doctor at the East Palestine Health Clinic.
