D-dimer concentration in pregnancy
ŠTÍCHOVÁ, Zuzana
D-dimers belong to fibrin degradation products (FDP) which we can find in the blood when the blood clot is dissolved. This process is named fibrinolysis. The levels of D-dimer are higher in all conditions connected with increased coagulation activation like deep venous tromboembolis, pulmonary embolism or disseminated intravascular coagulation. So the negative results, when the D-dimer concentration is below predetermined threshold, are one of the useful ways how to rule out tromboembolic disease The problem is that the elevated D-dimer levels are observed in other conditions like infection, trauma, acute cancer, recent surgery or pregnancy. The thesis should confirm that the concentration of D-dimer in pregnancy is elevated and the D-dimer levels were established in particular trimesters. These are compared with the D-dimer levels described in contemporary literature. The levels are determined for two different tests which were used in Hematology laboratory in České Budějovice hospital at different times. Besides the viewpoint of D-dimer and gravidity the thesis also follows up different results of the two tests and their possibility of comparison.
