Question 1

I'm worried about my mom. She recently had a procedure for a blockage in her left hand and she's been prescribed acitrome as a blood thinner. Her periods are really heavy though, and the doctor suggested using sevista to help stop the bleeding temporarily. Can she really take sevista with acitrome? I'm a bit anxious about mixing the two medications. What should we watch out for?

Accepted Answer

A hematocrit level of 51.1% is slightly above the normal range (40.7-50.3% for males, 36.1-44.3% for females), indicating potential polycythemia, a condition characterized by excessive red blood cell production; combined with your high hemoglobin (17.1 gdL) and RBC count (5.89 millionL), this may explain your symptoms of shortness of breath and dizziness; consult a md medicine for further evaluation and potential treatment to reduce your risk of blood clots and other complications.

My PTT is 24.132 and PT is 19.8 with a range of 10.45-13.17, plus my INR is 1.66. What treatment can help bring these levels back to normal? Should I be concerned about these results? I'm scheduled for a minor hydrocele removal surgery is it safe to proceed with these numbers?
