RE: Re: questions for GI

[Guest guest]

Pam,Thanks for the info. That pretty much answers my question, if I want Matt tested for the Vit K deficiency, a PT/PTT test would be needed. I'll ask the GI if that's something he should do routinely or only if he has symptoms.Thanks again,Marthaamnce wrote: Quantell gets vitamin K shots based on the results of is PT/PTT. When clotting times get too prolonged, that signals a deficiency of K. Pam (mom to Quantell, 18, dx 1996, tx 2001, dx recurrence with AIH overlap 2006)

>>>I take UrsoForte, which is different from plain

Ursodiol. I have no idea what the difference is,<<<

The difference is nothing! LOL only that it has a higher dose

than the other pills…after you get over 500mg in the pill the drug companies

call it “forte” which is a French word meaning strong or reinforced. From

Webster’s :

Etymology:

French fort, from fort,

adjective, strong

Hope this helps!
