lovenox and vitamin k

Again, if you are having trouble stabilizing between 2-3, contact your coumadin clinic or EP and ask them for a list of foods to eat and to stay away from. The more vitamin K you consume, the harder it is to stay therapeutic. For that matter, "google" vitamin K foods for a list and don't eat too much of them. If you follow that advice you will probably stay between 2-3.

I was recently told I have a vitamin K deficiency and suggested that once a FET is successful with the first beta results, I would need to be on a blood thinner more agressive than the baby aspirin regimn prescribed last time which was successful until week 6 when I miscarried... I'm nervous about taking a blood thinner- seems more risky than need... any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

s why I am not going to be injecting the Lovenox any longer and today I skip my 5mg warfarin . I begin again the 5mg warfarin on Saturday and go for protime on Monday to see if it has come down a tad into the target range .

Just got an email from the np that said she had talked to the doctor and wants to put me on Vitamin k 10 mg daily. I gave her the pharmacy number and asked her to send me the lab results. Still waiting to hear back. Have any of you had to do this before? What is the Vitamin k used for? Thanks!

Vitamin K is an essential vitamin but too much can be toxic to the liver. Vitamin K2 has shown more benefits to the liver, particularly in the area of fibrosis, also known as MK7, you can read more about it on the life extention web site. I think the verdict is out on whether this is a good thing or not for liver patients, and especially while on tx the risks may outweigh the benfit..

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

I was just reading up on Lovenox on Wikipedia and it listed situations where Lovenox and aspirin are used together to treat certain heart-related problems. I have the feeling that the reason they indicated not taking both together is because despite the hematologist saying that aspirin doesn't thin your blood, aspirin thins your blood. It's a common blood thinner for people with a-fib.

I have heard that there is some problem mixing vitamin K with a blood thinner. I am taking 75 mg of plavix and cannot find anything about the vitamin K interaction. I need additional calcium, and the brand I am looking at taking would give me 40mcg of vitamin K. Is this safe or a problem? Where can I find how much vitamin K is in a serving of broccoli or spinich?

I have read of using a constant daily low dosage (100mcg) of vitamin K to resolve INR instability the theory being that the instability may be due to a vitamin K deficiency and the constant dosage gives a bias level for the coumadin to work against. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this?

Had follow up appt this a.m. Got sentenced to three more weeks in what is now cast #4. So that's three more weeks of lovenox injections too. If you think just being pregnant is uncomfortable, imagine spending it in a leg cast on top of that. !! Ugh.

Uh...I have two friends with this and they definitely take an Rx type of vitamin. I'll have to find out what it is and let you know. But, yes, there is something he should be giving you, especially have 6 losses! I'm so sorry.

I think those who are opposed to a vitamin K shot for baby should do more research. Vitamin K can prevent a bleeding disorder, not blood clotting. Vitamin K aids in the ability of blood to clot, which is why it is given to newborns as a preventative measure. A lactation consultant friend sent me a link to an article, which includes statistics, about this very debate. http://evidencebasedbirth.

There are possible negative side effects and it's 20,000 times more then they need there are alternatives such as breastfeeding and oral versions of it. I'm doing the other shots and I will vaccinate my baby. But the vitamin K if you need to sign a consent to a shot I think it's a little questionable. I have an appointment tomorrow I'm going to talk with my doctor about my options. Because I want him to get his vitamin K I would just rather it through different means.

If your father is taking Coumadin and his INR is high, the blood thinning can be reversed with intravenous medication, called Vitamin K, before the procedure. Even if his blood had already been thinned with Coumadin, he will receive intravenous Heparin blood thinner. Heparin works immediately, and the effects only last for a short time after the drug is stopped.

But, when someone decided to supplement them with magnesium, too, then their little bodies made use of the vitamin D and the children finally started to improve and they finally recovered from the Rickets. It was heart-breaking to read about how the parents were blamed for child abuse when it was really a case of malnourishment that the parents and even the doctors were unaware of. My neurologist wants me to concentrate on taking the magnesium supplements to help with the migraines.

It has really not had any affect on me at all. The one thing that I know warfarin affects is Vitamin K. Vitamin K is what causes your blood to clot. Therefore the warfarin cancels out some of the Vit. K to make your blood thinner. I have to have my Protime (PT) checked every couple of months to make sure my blood is not too thin or thick. Really no big deal. BTW, it doesn't lower blood count, just the ability to clot.

Hello Sarah!! Thanks for the compliments on the Forum. Firstly... Yikes.. yes the taking of the high dose (even a low dose) will skew the results of your homocysteine blood test. That is why homocysteine levels are checked. Simply because if they are elevated, it can prove to doctors that you are not properly absorbing Folic Acid. I made this very mistake which confused the heck out of my doctors in determining how next to proceed with my testing.

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.

Re Vitamin K: I realized not long ago that I had worked myself into a calcium deficiency by avoiding milk (I'm lactose intolerant), and I needed more calcium in my diet that I just wasn't getting enough of from dark leafy greens alone. A good friend who is an amateur herbalist suggested I take Vitamin K-2 (not just Vitamin K, which can be at least two kinds, K-1 and K2, iirc), because K-2 is the specific one that accomplishes the transport of the calcium into bones.

You have to watch your dietary level intake of Vitamin K and limit it because it can mess with your PT/INR results and make you too thick. No multi vitamins ..herbal supplements that might have hidden Vitamin K. I also have a vena cava filter just in case something ever occurs again which gives me a little peace of mind. I did have surgery to remove the blood clot because it was quite big and I do have some valve damage because of the blood clot.

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.

Tingly feet, legs and hands, unbalanced and lightheaded and have passed out a few times. Now, with my new bloodwork my Vitamin K is elevated at 1453. I have no idea what this means. Am I not processing vitamins correctly in my body because of the MTHFR gene mutation. My doctors don't seem to have an answer for me.

I was reading yesterday that after the baby born the midwife will ask you if you agree to give him vitamin k . This is new for me ( FTM) ..of course if it is good for my son l will do it, just want to know if you have been through this ?

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.

The skin on the rest of my body does NOT do this. My dermatologist recommended vitamin C serum to improve my skin and vitamin K cream to help the bruises. He also prescribed ammonium lactate lotion for my dry skin. I have used these creams for several months with little result.The vitamin K cream does seem to help the bruises fade faster. Is there anything else I can do to prevent this problem?
