Re: Placental thrombosisFrom: JD Stewart,MD (jdstewartmfmob@sbcglobal.net)Mon Oct 30 11:30:57 2006
Likely if they discovered the MTHFR heterozygous status, the FVLeyden/Prothrombin/PA1 markers have been run as well. Possibly the autoimmune SLE/AclAb/ Beta 2 Gly panel should be run, too if it hasn't. If it was equivocal, rerunning the titers may be helpful as far as pushing towards more aggressive anticoagulation. If she is positive for another marker, or IUGR as yet, moving to SQ prophylactic heparin may be a reasonable step. Adding ASA QD shouldn't hurt either. I'm curious as to why a thrombophilic pregnant woman is on bedrest...is there a hypertension problem? An aerobics instructor problem? Compliance problem? At any rate, she is certainly at a risk to deliver early- consider steroids at whatever recipe you are fond of...

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
