ABSTRACT

A study of coagulation screening tests [including Prothrombin time, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time, Thrombin Time, Fibrinogen assay, F.D.P[s] levels in blood and Urine screening tests for fibrin monomers] performed in normal pregnant females is presented. Shortening of PT, APTT and Thrombin Time was observed. However, fibrinogen levels and platelet counts were within normal limits
