Question for perinatologistsFrom: Anna Meenan, MD (annam@uic.edu)Tue Jul 29 15:55:30 2003
I have a patient in my indigent clinic who just had her second second-trimester loss. (First one last year at 16 weeks, this one last week at 18 weeks) Her public aid card runs out at the end of August, and of course she won't be able to get another one until she is actually pregnant the next time. Our perinatologist can't get her in before September, so I asked what blood workup we could do while she still has a card. He rattled off a list of tests and then had to run to an emergency. The one test I can't find in the lab order book is a "prothrombin 20120". I did have him repeat that one twice, because I had never heard of it. Is that the actual correct name of it, or does it go by something else, and what exactly does it measure? Thanks.

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.
