A hospital admission can be a turning point for a patient with POLG, but only if the diagnosis is right.

In this episode of The CortiCare Podcast, Dr. Amy Goldstein and Dr. Mary Kay Koenig take a closer look at what happens when someone with POLG is hospitalized. From the symptoms that bring patients to the hospital and the complications that can arise during their stay, to the challenges of diagnosis and treatment, they share insights that can have a profound impact on patient care.

The conversation explores what a typical hospital course may look like, how POLG is diagnosed, and why certain treatments can be beneficial while others may unintentionally cause harm. They also discuss the importance of recognizing POLG early and how the right diagnosis can help clinicians and families make informed decisions moving forward.
