Please can anyone clarify the term TxFx in the following, which appears in description of present complaint in a procedure report for stent implantation in Galicia:
Hepatocarcinoma bajo tratamiento locoregional + cirrosis hepática CHILD A6 y MELD 12 con datos de hipertensión portal, con buena respuesta a TxFx + varices esófagas I-II. Valvopatía aórtica severa, estenosis aórtica severa y enfermedad arterial coronaria de 1 vaso. Pendiente de realizar termoablación de hepatocarcinoma.
I thought it referred to a type of treatment but cannot seem to find this abbrevation in the usual reference lists.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
John

Tratamiento de factor X -- factor X treatment
Tx can be an abbreviation for Tratamiento
Fx can be Factor X
Possibly they just put the two abbreviations together ... maybe later in your report it mentions factor X or coagulation treatment?

: Good resource showing that TXFX can stand for "traumatismos y fracturas" But .. in this case ... does it make sense for the report to say "buena respuesta a traumatismos y fracturas"?
