lovenox

281219 tn?1219114914 my doctor said heparin has been recalled, and so he put me on lovenox today -- what are the risks with that? i know i will have a c/s since I have had a prior uterine rupture.
Avatar m tn My mom recently survived hypervolemic shock (BP under 4, lost more than 90% of blood) due to internal bleeding due to prescription of Zosyn & Lovenox after diarrhea. She was being treated for bacterial pneumonia. She is now in renal and hepatic failure with some indication of turn around on #s (bilirubin high, but may be due to hematomas' reabsorption), She has a Dobhoff providing nutrition as she was not eating well and thus was retaining fluid.
Avatar f tn 6 (less than 3 is considered normal) and they noted there is a nasal bone which indicates that there is even less chance of down syndrome - so all in all the tech said everything looked good and I specifically asked if she saw any hematomas to which she replied no.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately for my breast, there then was huge swelling and pain and large, large hematomas. My breast was 3 times the size of the other one and totally purple and very painful. I was going to go back in 3 days ago to have it removed but got scared. Now it is still large and I am worried that it will never go away. My breast surgeon said it will go away in a month, but I am worried because I read something that hematomas could cause scar tissue in the breast and distort the breast.
Avatar f tn i am still on crutches and having trouble walking and also sleeping at night.i am now getting fed up with the pain is there any help for this hemotoma.
Avatar n tn On 12/1 I had a complete metabolic profile drawn for a routine endocrinology follow up and LFTs then were ALT 17 and AST 18. The Sectral and Lovenox were initiated before my preop labs on 1/29, which showed LFTs elevated (ALT 120, AST 59). I am concerned that the Sectral has been toxic to my liver and want to stop the medication now. I will be having labs repeated on 2/13, and will see the gastroenterologist again on 1/21.
Avatar n tn As far as I know lovenox is no reason to perform a c section. If you are unsure, then please ask your Dr. why he/she wants to deliver you this way. Your wishes do count and it's important you feel comfortable and confident in how the actual delivery takes place.
Avatar n tn But these are recommendations for hematomas in general and are not specific to post-operative breast hematomas. We recommend that you check with your surgeon before treating to make certain it is okay in the context of your specific situation.
Avatar f tn t argue or comment on your doctors opinion on the necessity of taking it while also on Lovenox and I definitely agree that Lovenox and Folgard are MUCH more important rather then just the aspirin, but if he is of the opinion that they do two different things and you are not taking the aspirin to cover off the missing 12 hours, according to my hematologist, taking only one dose of Lovenox per day wasn't covering me off all day (which is where I obtained the information that it is short lived
Avatar f tn I am currently 25 weeks and have been on Lovenox since week 6. I have a blood clotting problem. I will have a csection at 36 weeks but that is due to other health problems. I will have to have those stupid leg vacuun things while in hospital to keep circulation. I hate those things very loud and you can't move. Plus will have to continue Lovenox for 8 weeks after birth.
Avatar n tn I know of many women who have had this procedure and have not been left with anything like this. As it is 3 mos. already and my breast still isnt back to normal, im beginning to wonder if it truly makes a difference as to who does the biopsy?
287479 tn?1272730364 Turns out I have a bloody clotting disorder. I got pregnant again (and started the Lovenox injections) and everything was going well until last week. I began having spotting. My hcg was increasing, but my progesterone dropped quickly and I lost the baby. My husband and I are giving this one more shot. My doctor wants to start me on Clomid next month, along with one baby aspirin a day and and folic acid until I get pregnant.
Avatar f tn my first pregnancy with this dr. and taking Lovenox for the past 15 days.....Had second sonogram yesterday and saw fetal pole, yolk sac and heartbeat!!! I was so excited, I was on cloud nine all day...until two hours ago when I heard my latest #'s.....already spoke to dr. he said not to worry and go for blood test Mon. He did tell me originally that the minute I think I;m pregnant I should start the Lovenox. I started it when my levels were only42!!! Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn I also have the same issue. My IGM first came back borderline and then the 2nd 2 tests were just slightly positive. I don't have any history of miscarriages. I'm on 40mg Lovenox a day and have been spotting brown blood for past 2 weeks. I have heard Lovenox causes bleeding. I don't think I need to be on Lovenox. My Rhemetologist said some docs would think Lovenox is necessary while other docs would think I wouldn't need Lovenox.
Avatar n tn Anyone taking Lovenox? Im 9 weeks and between the lovenox and the prenat vit I feel groggy all the time..just wondering if lovenox makes you feel bad..
Avatar n tn I just had a miscarriage on July 30th and I was 23 1/2 weeks pregnant. I was put on Lovenox and a baby aspirin 2 weeks prior to miscarrying. The Doctor seems to think that when we get pregnant again that I can get on Lovenox and baby aspirin when i'm 7 weeks pregnant and that the pregnancy will be a healthy succuessful one. I'm just wondering has anyone else had a successful pregnancy taking Lovenox? Just really nervous and have alot of questions now.
Avatar f tn Is it safe to use Lovenox and Ibuprofen at the same time? What kind of side effects should I expect if I do so? (I do not experience any pain). 2. Shall I be concerned about permanent implications (ie to kidney, liver etc) of using blood thinner? 3. After 10 days (when I stop the Lovenox), will I need a blood test? 4. How long would it normally take for such an injury to heal?
Avatar f tn Thursday I'll be 11 weeks, I was told about my small hematoma two weeks ago on my first ultrasound and kinda worried they said it wasn't a big but I'm on a few restrictions. Anyone else going through this?
Avatar f tn I had an ablation last week and am doing well, but am very beat up (low energy, black and blue, sore throat from TEE and polka dot bruises from Lovenox). My question is how long a time period is it usual to be on Lovenox? My doctor has said a full month. From my research, other than pregnant women, for all other conditions it says 2 weeks or less. I can't take coumadin due to a severe reaction to it.
Avatar n tn The breast is very swollen, a tennis ball sized hard lump has formed inside and a deep red and purple bruise is starting to come out, its tender but not particularly painful. Is this normal? A second question out of curiosity I'm 37 years old and was breastfeeding (twins) up until 9 months ago, no family history of breast cancer but have had fibroademonas since I was 16. Has anyone of similar age and circumstances has micro-calcifications.
Avatar f tn I spotted with my first pregnancy and by the end of the day I was having full contractions and lost the baby at about 10 weeks. Not to freak you out, but my second Pregnancy was normal except for then periods.
Avatar f tn I also have to be induced at 39 weeks and then continue lovenox for 6 weeks after delivery.
Avatar n tn A bruise is an alternate name for hematomas, but generally when doctors refer to hematomas, they are referring to hematomas from major traumatic injury or from surgery. During surgery, damage to surrounding blood vessels can cause hematomas to form, which tends to slow down healing. In some cases, exceptionally large hematomas may need to be drained so that surgery sites are not impacted by the collection of partially clotted blood.
Avatar m tn The last time I had Lovenox was one year ago and I was at 2.6 when I started the Lovenox. At that time I quit taking coumadin until after the procedure. The day after the procedure, I started up on coumadin and continued to taking the Lovenox until I was therapeutic again (between 2-3 INR). You stated that you were worried about the AFib. I assume you were referring to AFib while you are off coumadin and on Lovenox. I wouldn't worry about that.
Avatar n tn 1) Have you ever heard of lovenox injections to prevent further clots in stents and 2) what are the risks from lovenox to her relatively healthy kidneys (after 30+ yrs of diabetes)? Thank you for your good advice. You were the only Dr. who said E.R.
287479 tn?1272730364 Yes, I am on Lovenox!!!! and I am 33 weeks pregnant...I am also on extra Folic Acid and I was diagnosed with MTHFR...so it does work.... Good Luck to you!!!
873190 tn?1304812975 Yet, this is the only pregnancy that continued past the first trimester and this time I was on Lovenox from day 1. The last two times, they wanted to wait and see a heartbeat before starting the blood thinners. I'm now 31 weeks and will continue Lovenox until I get a little closer to delivery, then switch to heparin, since it has a shorter half life and they don't want you to be on blood thinners the day of delivery.
