Re: Elevated AFPFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comMon Oct 9 09:17:24 1995
<<only a 2-fold increase in IUFD risk - most of which was identifiable based on very poor fetal growth - thus there is no appropriate intervention in the anatomically normal fetus with an elevated MSAFP.>> So I like to follow elevated MSAFPs with serial sonography looking for fetal growth retardation. I probably do more NSTs in the 3rd trimester, but I don't know if that's very helpful. doctorjoe@aol.com "All things are connected.

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.
