Abstract:
Background: Normal pregnancy is associated with haemostatic changes which
have been linked to a complex physiological adaptation but these changes return to
that of non-pregnant state at about 4 weeks of post-delivery. The study aimed to
assess the PT,PTT, Fibrinogen and D-Dimer level among pregnant women
.Methodology: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study, has been conducted
at Mek Nemir hospital and Shendi Teaching Hospital from August 2015 to August
2017, Following informed consent 145 pregnant women in different trimesters and
different ages were enrolled in this study, their aged ranged from (17- 40) years
with mean average of SPSS version ---was used to calculate the mean , STD,
frequency and independent t test , the p values were considered to be significant <
(0.05)
Results: The mean age of pregnant women was (24.4) years. Pregnant women
with Haemostasis change in different trimesters 60% were in third trimester. In the
study population the values of PT (14.3 ) second during pregnancy and control
(12.5) second showed significant differences (P>0.00) but within normal range,
values of APPT (34.1) second during pregnancy and control (32.4) second showed
no significant differences (P=0.30), fibrinogen levels during pregnancy
(548.1)mg/dl and control (269.6) mg/dl showed significant differences (P>0.00),
and D-Dimer levels during pregnancy (609.7)ng/ml and control (285.5) ng/ml
showed significant differences (P>0.00) without normal range.
Conclusion: The study concluded that changed values of PT, APTT, fibrinogen
levels and D-Dimer levels during pregnancy, It is recommended that fibrinogen
level and D-Dimer level be monitored during pregnancy to minimize thrombotic
effect.6
