The Enalapril will keep her B/P down and also should help with the protein loss. I am sure they will also start her on a small dose of aspirin to prevent clots. The UPC should be under 0.5 so 1.1 is elevated. Olivia's has been higher and her meds were increased and it came down.
Oh, and I am sure her mood will change when her B/P comes down and she is feeling better. Her B/P was very high and I am sure that made her feel uncomfortable.
There is good information on the internet .. I just wanted to warn you about the prognosis part because it really scared me. I had poor Olivia dead way before her time! She is doing really well now. |
So it would be PLN? I'll go look that up. Thanks
