Abstract
We have investigated whether the levels of thrombin‐activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) were correlated with d‐dimer levels during pregnancy and at delivery. From the 10th week of pregnancy to delivery, 519 samples from 144 women (mean age 29·3 ± 5, range 19–43) were obtained. We confirm the gradual increase of d‐dimer levels, and provide reference intervals for d‐dimer measurements throughout normal pregnancy. TAFI levels increased moderately during pregnancy but no inverse correlation with d‐dimer levels was observed.Keywords
