Re: HELLP SYNDROME/low plateletsFrom: Terrence.Jones@ncal.kaiperm.orgWed Oct 30 10:37:40 1996
Vivienne, agree with Malcolm, might want to look for alternative contributing factor to abnl coag profile in nonthrombocytopenic PET. Particularly if PTT is the coag test that's prolonged. This may represent evidence of APS (anti- phospholipid syndrome) - not infreq assoc with PET (usually early onset {pre- term} PET). Any hx of RPL (recurrent preg loss), throbomboembolism, livedo, cardiac valve lesions, or autoimm hemolytic anemia? Might check to see if the PTT (if prolonged) corrects with factor replacement, and included an ACA (anti cardiolipin AB.) Terry Jones

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.
