Serum hepatitis hazard in biochemical control sera.

increased serum F.D.P. levels in women with clinically significant menorrhagia, as compared with those in women without abnormal menstrual symptoms. Further studies being undertaken indicate that raised serum F.D.P. levels found in women with menorrhagia are often associated with increased levels of fibrin monomer complexes in the blood. Thus raised serum F.D.P. levels in women complaining of menorrhagia may be a manifestation of exaggerated intravascular microcoagulation associated with secondary fibrinolytic activity.-I am, etc., H.
