Question 1

my mom was in a car accident about 2 yrs ago.  she had to have a shunt put in her head to relieve fluid. now she has blood clots on brain. prognosis?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It very much depends where and for how long the "blood clots" have been present. If they developed as a result of the accident her prognosis is pretty much the same as it was at the time of her injury....if new ..they could affect the outlook.  Have a "long talk" with her caregvers. Tell them about your concerns and have the rest of the family there!

Good Luck in a tough situation
Hope this helps

Question 2

what is the prognosis for recurrent blood clots in the lungs?

Accepted Answer

Anticoagulation: Some patients make blood clots more easily, and you are likely one of them. Recurrent clots in your lungs means you need life long anticoagulation with blood thinners such as coumadin (warfarin). You should also see a hematologist for evaluation of why you make clots. It can be hereditary. So, with medical therapy, and monitoring your prognosis is good.
