LOINC description : Abacavir, an antiretroviral given to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected pregnant
women, crosses the placenta by simple diffusion and concentrates in the amniotic fluid,
probably through fetal urinary excretion. Antiretrovirals in the amniotic fluid at
delivery may amount to an oral loading dose for the newborn, which would continue
to be absorbed in the hours following birth. Further investigations are needed to
determine the long-term effect of antiretroviral medication exposure through amniotic
fluid. [PMID: 15504861];
