warfarin genetic testing fda

Due to a genetic disorder, I've been taking warfarin for over 6 years and doing fine. My INR is always between 2 - 3. I need to have tooth extraction and implant. Do I have to stop taking Warfarin or can I just continue since my numbers are so good? I read that some people stay on warfarin with no negative problems having a tooth implant. .

5/’09, hospitalized due to methyldopa induced cholestasis, diagnosed w/ A fib. 8/’09, 14 days into Warfarin, she fell (cause unknown), suffering a skull fracture causing an acute subarachnoid and subdural hemorrhage. Initially paralyzed left side & recovered almost 90%. On our request, switched to Aspirin. 12/’09, open cholecystectomy due to acute cholecystitis w/ pigmented gallstones. In 5/’10 , she had a minor stroke.

Do to a leg blood clot I've been taking warfarin (7.5) for three years. I am 62 years old and very active. I weight lift, jog, and ride a bike. Will I have to take warfarin all of my life or at some point can I discontinue it?

The Plavix is widely advertised and available in the USA. I have discussed with my cardiologist in past years. He said, no way is it a substitute fo warfarin... but again I tolerate warfarin well. But too, I've never had any severe cuts while on warfarin.

Although, I had the genetic blood test to see if I was prone to repeat blood clots, the result was negative. Help, please advise what I should do. .

If it shows that you are at high risk of having a baby with a specific genetic abnormality,the only way to confirm is to have an amnio or CVS testing. Amnios and CVS are actual diagnostic tests, Panorama, MaterniT21, etc are not. Your baby's blood will be tested immediately after birth for genetic abnormalities, so unless you're willing to have a diagnostic test and abort if it comes back positive I would not get the testing done.

That's the new oral anticoagulant that's been making its way to FDA approval, which was finally given today. No INR monitoring, no food interactions. But cost might be $10/day rather than 10 cents. https://us2.ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl?

Also, I found out the condition is genetic, so should I tell me children? Thank you so much for your help.

Hi, I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Embolism 3 years ago with hypercoagulability (genetic) and have been on 2.5mg of Warfarin per day for the past 3 years. I have just had an abdominal scan, and was told that I have a dense, fatty liver. I have tried to eat as healthy as possible, but had to cut a lot of greens out of my diet, as it affected my INR and would have lead to me having to increase my Warfarin dosage. Now I am not sure if this lead to the 'fatty liver'problem.

We refused all genetic testing. We already have DS in our immediate family so already had the 'what if' discussion before we conceived. Testing would make no difference to our decisions.

s always that scary feeling there could b something wrong. is anyone else doing genetic testing? Has anyone had it come back with results saying there was something wrong? What potential problems can they find other than down syndrome?

has anyone known genetic testing to give you the wrong sex of your baby?it's not the ambiotic fluid test in the blood test.

Did anyone with clean family history opt out of genetic testing? Cystic fibrosis, down syndrome......

I am 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby and having a very difficult time make a decision regarding genetic testing. Can u please share your experinces/decisions ? Thank u!

I didn't have the genetic testing done. However before making my decision I had a discussion with my obgyn. She had explained to me that she had 4 kids. And 3 out of 4 she had the genetic test done. And all 3 came back with positive results. And she followed up with more testing. And the 3 plus one she didnt get tested came out healthy strong babies. That sometimes they do come back as false positives. But not to be too alarmed at first.

Big brothers are 4 yr and 9 months. My dr had blood drawn for genetic testing (downs syndrome and others) to make sure this baby is healthy and also to determine the sex of baby. I am a little nervous about this test and what it might show. My last pregnancy was horrible. Had to have and emergency c - section at 36 weeks because of ruptured placenta. I now have to wait 3-4 weeks for the results. I am going crazy. Is anyone else going through this.

I'm only 4 weeks but today was the first day I met with my obgyn. The doctor asked me if I would want to do genetic testing on the baby eventually. Did anyone else do this?

How do you guys feel about genetic testing. As mentioned in my earlier post my mother Lorraine is in her final stages of her stage 3C ovarian cancer. I have 2 sisters and this was brought up only once by the doctors. Doctors did not recommend it. I do have my family doctor and she sends me for a mamogramme, internal echography and CA125 tests every year. They did discover a fibrome in the last test but she told me it was nothing to worry about.
