Re: MRI in pregnancy From: Steve & Eryl Raymond (eryl@intekom.co.za) Sat Mar 31 02:19:34 2001 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Joanne Bulley: "Fri: Humor" Previous message: Eberhard W Lisse: "Re: Criminal Teaching on immediate cord clamping on an infant's pulsating lifeline, the umbilical cord" Why would you want to recommend termination? What you are seeing and describing is normal. Provided renal function tests remain normal do nothing. Steve Raymond I've been involved with a patient that in 3 out of 4 (4 out of 5 now... I wasn't in the last pregnancy care) there were severe hydronephorsis problems - usually resulting in multiple stent procedures - she was an RN who refused any percutaneous nephrostomies. I have seen articles that have suggested that the hydronephrosis is due to ovarian veins compressing the ureters. It has been suggested to ligate the veins with resultant relief of the problem. Our patient's problems (in second and subsequent pregnancies) began by the late first trimester - before the uterus couls be the compression force. We never had the liberty of MRI - so I am not answering that part of your question. But it sounds like this patient.

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.
