Hemostatic changes in normal pregnancy

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: 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.
