[A trial of setting of the reference intervals of thrombin antithrombin III complex and fibrin.fibrinogen degradation products in pregnant women].
Activity of coagulation and fibrinolysis during pregnancy differed greatly from that during a nonpregnant period. We examined the reference intervals by mean +/- 2 standard deviations for thrombin antithrombin III complex (TAT), total FDP (T-FDP), FDP-E, D-dimer before and after delivery. The reference intervals obtained were as follows: TAT (micrograms/l): 1.0-4.8 for 1st trimester, 2.0-10.2 for 2nd trimester, 2.8-14.2 for 3rd trimester, 2.6-16.3 for full term pregnancy, 0-10.5 for post partum. T-FDP (micrograms/ml): 1.5-4.2 for 1st trimester, 1.8-5.6 for 2nd trimester, 1.9-8.5 for 3rd trimester, 2.9-9.7 for full term pregnancy, 2.4-9.0 for post partum. FDP-E(ng/ml): 26.4-98.0 for 1st trimester, 42.4-176.7 for 2nd trimester, 53.1-222.5 for 3rd trimester, 82.4-297.9 for full term pregnancy, 56.9-240.6 for post partum. D-dimer (micrograms/ml): 0.2-2.0 for 1st trimester, 0.6-3.8 for 2nd trimester, 0.6-4.3 for 3rd trimester, 0.7-6.8 for full term pregnancy, 0.6-5.7 for post partum. Further studies are needed to determine the borderline values to determine the clinical abnormality, with a comparison of the reference intervals with the pathologic laboratory data.
