Alterations in the coagulation and fibrinolysis system in pregnancy, labour and puerperium, with special reference to a possible transitory state of intravascular coagulation during labour. 1978

J Gilabert, and J Aznar, and J J Parrilla, and E Regañon, and V Vila, and A Estelles

Various tests of hemostasis were carried out during pregancy, labour and the puerperium in a group of 259 women. Determinations were carried out in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters, in the period of dilatation, the expulsion period, the period of expulsion of the placenta and the immediate postpartum period of labour and on each of the first 5 days of the puerperium. It was confirmed that during pregnancy there is an elevation of the fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) levels with a proportional increase in the numbers of positive protamine sulfate and ethanol tests. The proportion of positive protamine sulfate and ethanol tests reaches a maximum in the expulsion of the placenta coinciding with the presence of soluble complexes heavier than fibrinogen as detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by column chromatography. All this indicates that there is a transitory intravascular coagulation produced during labour reaching its maximum at the time of birth and tending to become normalized in the first few days of the puerperium.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007743 Labor, Obstetric The repetitive uterine contraction during childbirth which is associated with the progressive dilation of the uterine cervix (CERVIX UTERI). Successful labor results in the expulsion of the FETUS and PLACENTA. Obstetric labor can be spontaneous or induced (LABOR, INDUCED). Obstetric Labor

D004211 Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.

D005338 Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products Soluble protein fragments formed by the proteolytic action of plasmin on fibrin or fibrinogen. FDP and their complexes profoundly impair the hemostatic process and are a major cause of hemorrhage in intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.

D005342 Fibrinolysis The natural enzymatic dissolution of FIBRIN. Fibrinolyses
