Discharge Date

[17-10-2025 14.59] PPM 1: Recent hemogram done from our college

[17-10-2025 14.59] PPM 1: Today's upper GI endoscopy.
Apparently she had been banded once. @PPM3 @CR can you add the patient advocate's number here?https://youtube.com/shorts/HSBVaaw6yqo?si=yFsCxs4MmU179lCs
[17-10-2025 15.00] PPM 2: Wouldn't she be a good candidate for Splenectomy? Or is the current hypothesis something along the lines of splenectomy worsing GI bleeds?
[17-10-2025 16.44] PPM 4: Would an APLA test be usually sought in this case sir?
[17-10-2025 16.49] PPM 1: In a high resource academic setting yes. 
The only utility would be deciding around anticoagulation.
Generally clinically when the patient is suspected to have an ongoing thrombosis we would anyways start anticoagulation hence the APLA may not be very necessary in the clinical decision making perhaps
