title: [Evaluation of some coagulation parameters in pregnant women with arterial hypertension].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Arterial hypertension is an important cause of preterm delivery. It affects 5 to 10% of pregnancies.
  
  
  METHODS
  The main aim of the study was to find the correlation between antythrombin III and D-dimers concentration in hypertension-affected and healthy pregnant women. The study was carried out in Clinic of Pathology Pregnancy in A.M. Lodz in 1999-2001.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study group consist of 47 pregnant women with HA, the control group of 30 healthy pregnant women at the same gestational age. The concentrations of AT III and D-dimers were compared between groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean concentration of AT III in group of hypertensive women was lower than in normotensive ones. D-dimers concentration was in 18% of the hypertensive group elevated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In hypertensive pregnancy the coagulation parameters were weakened.
