Hemostatic changes in normal pregnancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Normal pregnancy is accompanied by changes in the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems. These include a decrease in platelet count, increases in a number of clotting factors, a decrease in protein S levels, a significant fall in the activity of activated protein C and inhibition of fibrinolysis. These changes may be important for reducing intrapartum blood loss, but they determine an increased risk of thromboembolism during pregnancy and puerperium.

A Review of Hemostasis in Normal Pregnancy and Puerperium
Significant alterations are seen in hemostatic system during normal pregnancy and puerperium. Overall, it is a state of hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis mitigating the risk of severe bleeding during placental separation at delivery. On the flip side, it threatens a pregnant woman for thrombosis with the risk being four to six folds more in comparison to a non-pregnant woman. It is import...

Pregnancy is a unique situation where significant physiological changes in all maternal organ systems take place. Most of these changes return to normal after delivery. During normal pregnancy the hemostatic balance changes in the direction of hypercoagulability, thus decreasing bleeding complications at time of delivery. The pregnancy-associated hypercoagulability sets a foundation for hemosta...

Telangiectasia may appear in up to 60% of normal pregnancies. Liver function test (LFT) abnormalities occurs in 3% ...
متن کاملThrombosis and Hemostasis Related Issues in Women and Pregnancy.
Normal pregnancy is associated with major physiological alterations in the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems that aim to maintain placental function and prevent excessive bleeding at delivery.1 These alterations mostly promote a procoagulant state and thus unfortunately enhance the risk of thromboembolism. There is an estimated 4.5-fold increase in thrombotic risk throughout gestation and th...
