Abstract
Aim
The aim of this study is to assess the changes in coagulation, thrombosis, anticoagulation, and fibrinolysis during early pregnancy.
Methods
One hundred and five pregnant women with monozygotic pregnancies between 10 and 12 weeks gestation were randomly enrolled as the study group, and another 82 non-pregnant women were selected as the control group. Coagulation parameters and prothrombotic state parameters were measured.
Results
Fg, F1 + 2, thrombin–antithrombin complex, GMP140, D-dimer, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 2 were statistically different between the study and the control groups (p < 0.008). The coagulation, fibrinolytic, and the antifibrinolytic functions of healthy pregnant women are enhanced during early pregnancy, whereas the anticoagulation is slightly increased.
Conclusion
Coagulation, fibrinolysis, and antifibrinolysis remain at high levels, whereas the platelet activation remains at low levels during early pregnancy.
