[Comparative evaluation of the system of hemostasis in term and premature labor].

The performance of hemostasis system followed up in 40 females in timely and preterm labor as well as in early afterbirth stage was comparatively assessed. Both pregnancies and labors of the studied females were uneventful. All females demonstrated raised hemostatic potentials, accelerated hemocoagulation, platelet activation, fibrinolytic inhibition, activation of intravascular coagulation equally varying in time. But the authors stated that females in premature labor had less pronounced elevation of factors determining the structural properties of fibrinous clots, which indicated the prematurity of the hemostasis system for a reliable arrest of hemorrhages in premature labor. The author suggested that insufficient hemostatic potential could be a risk-factor for the development of hemorrhages in premature labor.
