Effects of red blood cells on the coagulation of blood in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies
Article Abstract:
Abnormal red blood cells may be responsible for the abnormal blood clotting seen in pregnant women with preeclampsia. Researchers measured the time it took blood to clot in blood samples from 25 non-pregnant women, 25 healthy pregnant women, and 10 pregnant women with preeclampsia. The blood from women with preeclampsia clotted more quickly than blood from the other two groups. However, when red blood cells were removed from the samples, all three groups of samples clotted in approximately the same amount of time.
