Abstract
The purpose of the study was to analyse triggering mechanisms of blood coagulation activation in different stages of normal pregnancy and assessment of the possible role of their disorders for reproductive loss and preterm delivery. Materials and methods. 301 women were examined: non-pregnant women, women in different periods of normal pregnancy and on the 2-3rd day after spontaneous labor. Activity of tissue factor (TF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), the level of activated factor VIIa (FVIIa), fibrinopeptide A (FPA) and D-dimers were determined in venous blood plasma. Results and Discussion. Progressive increase in the activity of TF, the dynamics and intervals of TF and TFPI valid values, as well as the ratio of their activity at different stages in normal pregnancy (r = 0.15; p < 0.03) were defined. TF activity prevailed over TFPI activity ranging from 12-13 weeks, which was more significant in the later stages of gestation (34-36 weeks). TF activity value was directly related to the level of FVIIa (r = 0.21; p < 0.002), FPA (r = 0.23; p < 0.001) and D-dimers (r = 0.40; p < 0.001), indicating the successful implementation of coagulation potential in the blood of pregnant women which is not accompanied, however, by the development of clinically significant vascular ischemia. It is assumed that the high level of TF contributes not only to the activation of hemostasis, but also initiates termination of pregnancy and the onset of labor. Materials of the article define triggering mechanisms of increasing thrombogenicity of blood during pregnancy, and the data can be used as indicative values for the formation of groups at risk for thrombotic and obstetric complications.
