title: [The concentration of alpha-2-antiplasmin in sera of women in post partum].
abstract: Alpha-2-antiplasmin is a main inhibitor of plasmin and play a crucial role in regulation of intravascular fibrinolysis. It is important to know, in pregnant women as well in the immediate post partum period the activation of hemostasis takes place and is observed thrombotic incidences. In our studies we have included 33 pregnant women whose delivered eutrophic newborns alpha-2-AP 7.79 mg/dl and 36 pregnant women whose delivered small-for-date newborns, alpha-2-AP 7.49 mg/dl. We found no significant statistically differences between tested groups and in comparison to control group 6.0 mg/dl. The presented results seems to indicate, the determination of concentration of alpha-2-AP in sera of women in immediate post partum period does not reflect the changes in the mechanisms of fibrinolytic system in the course of the partum.
