PUL: pregnancy of unknown location; hCG: human chorionic gonadotropin; TVUS: transvaginal ultrasound; IUP: intrauterine pregnancy; MTX: methotrexate; IVF: in vitro fertilization.
* TVUS may be repeated sooner in patients with new or worsening symptoms or when the discriminatory zone is reached. The discriminatory zone is the serum hCG level above which a gestational sac should be visualized when an IUP is present. It varies by laboratory and institution and can range from 2000 to >3500 milli-international units/mL. Approximately 1% of IUPs will not be visualized on TVUS when the discriminatory zone is set at 3510 mIU/mL.
¶ Laparoscopy may also be performed in patients with an adnexal mass.
Δ Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy include, but are not limited to, prior ectopic pregnancy, prior tubal pathology or surgery (eg, pelvic inflammatory disease or tubal ligation), current use of an intrauterine device, and IVF.آیا می خواهید مدیلیب را به صفحه اصلی خود اضافه کنید؟
