Anamnesis
A 45 year old woman has noticed sweating during nighttime, weight
loss, tiredness, pallor, palpitation and dyspnoea. She had enlarged
lymph nodes and an enlarged spleen. One day she develops a heavy
headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and loss of field of vision. Her
menstruation stops abruptly, she becomes sensitive to cold, her voice
becomes hoarse and the heart rate slow. She easily gets dizzy when she
stands up, and she has attacks of hunger, weakness, pallor, blurred
vision and palpitation. At one occasion she has to be treated for
convulsions. Before her illness is diagnosed she develops kidney
failure and dies after having caught an inflammation of the throat.

Could anyone help me derive a diagnosis for this kind of anamesis?

Thanks in advance!
