Abstract
Objective
To investigate the changes of coagulation indexes in normal pregnant women in early and late pregnancy.
Methods
The coagulation indexes in early and late pregnancy including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), APTT ratio, prothrombin time (PT), PT ratio, prothrombin activity, international normalized ratio, fibrinogen (Fib) and thrombin time (TT) were retrospectively collected from 196 normal pregnant women delivered in Peking University First Hospital from August 2013 to September 2014. Differences in these indexes before and after the seventh gestational week of early pregnancy and in early and late pregnancy were compared. In addition, the normal reference values were calculated. Paired t test and sum-rank test were used for statistical analysis. The reference values were presented with P2.5-P97.5.
Results
In early pregnancy, some coagulation indexes after the seventh weeks were shorter than those before, such as APTT [30.3 (26.1-35.5) vs 32.1 (27.9-36.8) s, Z=25.850, P<0.001] and TT [13.8 (12.2-16.0) vs 14.5 (12.3-16.4) s, Z=16.720, P<0.001], but Fib [3.3 (2.5-4.3) vs 2.9 (2.2-3.8) g/L, Z=43.180, P<0.001] became higher. APTT [(27.5±1.6) vs (31.4±2.4) s, t=24.736, P<0.001], PT [(9.7±0.5) vs (11.0±0.8) s, t=18.647, P<0.001] and TT [(13.3±0.8) vs (14.2±1.0) s, t=9.255, P<0.001] were significantly shorter, while Fib [(4.4±0.5) vs (3.1±0.4) g/L, t=-29.152, P<0.001] was higher in late pregnancy than in early pregnancy. The reference values of APTT, PT, Fib and TT in early pregnancy were 26.5-36.0 s, 9.4-12.4 s, 2.4-4.0 g/L and 12.3-16.4 s, and those in late pregnancy were 25.0-31.2 s, 8.8-10.6 s, 3.4-5.4 g/L and 12.0-14.9 s, respectively.
Conclusions
The coagulation indexes of pregnant women change significantly since the beginning of early pregnancy. APTT, PT and TT are shorter, while Fib is higher in late pregnancy than in early pregnancy.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine was founded in May 1998. It is one of the journals of the Chinese Medical Association, which is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by Peking University First Hospital. Perinatal medicine is a new discipline jointly studied by obstetrics and neonatology. The purpose of this journal is to "prenatal and postnatal care, improve the quality of the newborn population, and ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants". It reflects the new theories, new technologies, and new progress in perinatal medicine in related disciplines such as basic, clinical and preventive medicine, genetics, and sociology. It aims to provide a window and platform for academic exchanges, information transmission, and understanding of the development trends of domestic and foreign perinatal medicine for the majority of perinatal medicine workers in my country.
