d-dimer@cutoff of reference range(100ng/ml is both the value and cutoff), same for troponin i (.05ng/ml).normal platelet,inr,aptt. some petechia. dic?

Question

Only symptom new petechiae everyday x6 mo. Normal: CBC,PT/INR, aPPT, CRP. D-dimer being retested now b/c slightly above reference range. Chronic DIC??

Answer 1

Borderline values: Borderline numbers that are otherwise normal. In this scenario we can't rely on a blood test alone. The diagnosis can be helped by examining the clinical picture . Physical exam and symptoms should help narrow the diagnosis.

Answer 2

No: Thrush is an infection that is caused by candida which is a yeast.

Answer 3

Yes: Yes, thrush is an infection of the mouth and tongue caused by candida, a type of fungus. Yeast are also fungi, but thrush specifically refers to the whitish plaques or lesions that form in a baby's mouth and tongue as a result of overgrowth of the candida fungus.

Answer 4

Tell OB & Peds docs : If a pregnant woman has a congenital heart defect, there is an increased chance her children will have a heart defect. However, it might be a different heart abnormality. Because the anomaly might not be detected in a fetus with an OB ultrasound or echocardiogram, babies at risk are often seen by a pediatric cardiologist and/or undergo an echo after birth. Sometimes a defect appears later in life.

Answer 5

Notify your doctors: Most vsds spontaneously close, or would have been repaired in childhood. If your vsd is still patent your cardiologist and OB should confer and determine the effect that pregnancy will have upon your heart. Your child does have an increased risk of congenital heart disease. Get an ultrasound to check your infant's heart before birth, see the pediatrician and discuss this before baby is born.

Answer 6

Get records to know: Women who have a congenital heart defect surprisingly may know little about it. In some cases there are few symptoms between infancy and the time they get pregnant. They should ask their parents for information, get records from all their doctors and from any hospitalizations including when they were born, and see their cardiologist and an OB specialist about risk before trying to conceive (ttc).

Answer 7

Probably not.: Vsds are a common type of congenital heart defect, affecting .2% of the population, however most of them close on there own. There is no evidence that having a vsd is a risk factor for baby to have a vsd as well. More importantly, as a future mom, your good health is very important for your baby's good health so i would recommend that you have an echocardiogram to check out the vsd appropriately.

Answer 8

Yes: You can do both, although it is generally recommended not to introduce a bottle in the first few weeks, until your milk supply is well established. However, if you are exhausted and just need a break, an occasional bottle should not interfere with succesful breastfeeding.

Answer 9

Yes: You may breast feed with supplemental bottles of pumped breast milk or formula. It is advisable to breast feed solely for the first two weeks as to establish your milk flow and avoid nipple confusion. Babies suck differently from the breast and the bottle.

Answer 10

Yes generally: In general yes however sonographers are frequently trained specially for kids while nearly every sonographer knows how to perform on adults...There are technical differences....Pediatric echos are usually interpreted by pediatric cardiologists.

Answer 11

Same or different: No one is the same so their symtoms will be slightly different but generally they will have similar symptoms.
