Menopause is characterized by elevation in what hormone

RELATIVE caloric deficiency causes decreased GnRH and decreased FSH LH E P and sc such as breast atrophy, infertility, vaginal atrophy, osteoporosis – all the manifestations of estrogen deficiency
Mechanism of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea in a competitive athlete
RELATIVE caloric deficiency causes decreased GnRH and decreased FSH LH E P and sx such as breast atrophy, infertility, vaginal atrophy, osteoporosis – all the manifestations of estrogen deficiency

Treat HELLP syndrome
Antihypertensive med and/or mag for seizure prophylaxis
Then deliver baby when mom stabilized
When to consider transfusion for HELLP Syndrome
Preop before cesarean if plt v40,000/mm^3
Prophylactically if plt v 20,000/mm^3
Otherwise delivery of baby spontaneously resolves HELLP
so standard tx is Antihypertensive med and/or Mag for seizure prophylaxis, then Deliver baby when mom stabilized
