The Dynamics of the Hemo- static Parameters in Physio- logical Pregnancy and After Delivery

Abstract

Nowadays hematologists and obstetrician-gynecologists have little data about the peculiarities of hemostatic parameters and the maintenance of hemostatic balance at different stages of physiological pregnancy. However, it is necessary to know the norms for the determination of pathologic deviations in the system and medical decision making. The article presents the dynamics of 50 hemostatic parameters in women in pregravid period, at different stages of physiological pregnancy, and 2-3 days after vaginal delivery studied in 301 Caucasian (white) women. The parameters that characterize different components of hemostatic system were taken into account-vascular-platelet, coagulant, anticoagulant, and Fibrinolytic. Thrombin generation test was used as an integrated method to study hemocoagulation.According to the obtained results, some parameters were identified. These parameters could be an objective prerequisite for the prescription and monitoring the effects of antiaggregants and low molecular heparins during pregnancy with the aim of thromboprophylaxis. It is suggested that hyperproduction of Tissue Factor (TF) and thrombin (in relation to reference ranges) should play a possible role in initiation not only intravascular blood coagulation but also the end of pregnancy. It might be of importance in understanding the causes of preterm delivery. The described mechanism, preventing thrombus formation in late pregnancy, is associated with the enhancement of fibrinolytic reactions in blood circulation. This mechanism can lead to the degradation of soluble fibrin polymer (with the formation of D-dimers) before its conversion into gel or fibrin clot (fibrin insolubile). The obtained data could be useful in future to identify pregnant women at risk dealing with thrombosis, bleeding and obstetrics complications during pregnancy and delivery.Keywords: Blood coagulation markers; Coagulation factors; Fibrinolysis; Hemostatic system; Physiological anticoagulants; Pregnancy; Thrombin generation Citation: Моmot AP, Semenova NA, Belozerov DE, Trukhina DA, Kudinova IY (2016) The Dynamics of the Hemostatic Parameters in Physiological Pregnancy and After Delivery.

The study of these parameters is expected to explain the causes of 3-4 fold increase in D-dimers level in late physiological pregnancy, to select objective factors for initiation and cessation of heparinprophylaxis and to solve other problems associated with pregnancy complications.The aim of this study is to determine the allowed values and th...

<p>Clinical and laboratory manifestations of the prothrombin gene mutation in women of reproductive age</p>

“…It is known that both pregnancy40–42 and combined oral contraceptives43–45 are accompanied by an increase in prothrombin activity in blood plasma. It is likely that the primary increase in this factor (associated with the prothrombin G20210A mutation) in combination with the secondary one (during pregnancy or CHC administration) is more likely to manifest itself as thrombosis.…”

Laboratory support for assessing the hemostatic system in a physiologically proceeding pregnancy, in risk groups for the development of thrombosis and gestational complications: expert opinion

“…3. Референтные интервалы для различных сроков беременности четко не определены, хотя значительная работа в этом отношении проделана [10,11]. В то же время ввиду разнообразия лабораторного оборудования и реагентов, а также отсутствия гармонизации между ними актуальность выведения референтных значений для конкретной лаборатории сохраняется.…”
