OK,

Her ureteres are safe and sound. We increased the dose of diuretics and she started to urinate a lot. The drainage is decreasing little by little. >From 1000ml/day, it was 157ml/day last Friday. I asked to my resident to
close/seal the aponeurosis again, and discharge the patient from the hospital. She is staying way too long. All lab results are fine, creatinine is 0.9.

Gastro is with us, they gave the support needed for the ascitis.

Different case, not much, or better saying, nothing at all writing about on the MEDLINE. According to the surgeons, this is a very common thing for them, and cirrhotic patients are very unstable and a pain in the neck.

I am going to check what is going on tomorrow and let the latest news.

Thank you for all replies.

Ricardo

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.
