Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 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.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 >>>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!
