Why do KCL infusion at all if the PUFF questionnaire is a reliable and sensitive test for interstitial cystitis?

Andy-

We do PST testing and mix up the solutions ourselves (we have a nurse who does the mixing). It's a pretty easy test to perform and patients seem grateful that you're investigating the source of their pain. I have a protocol at the office. I'll do my best to track it down by Monday and email you offlist.

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.
