ABSTRACT

During pregnancy the maternal hemostasis is characterized as a prothrombotic state in which changes in the hemostatic system. The adaptation of the maternal hemostatic system to pregnancy predisposes the mother to an increased risk of thrombotic event and the presence of concomitant genetic or acquired thrombophilia increases the risk of thrombosis associated with pregnancy. The current trend in therapy is to administer low-dose aspirin as prophylaxis for thrombotic events from the moment of conception until the beginning of the third quarter, low molecular weight heparin is administered to prevent bleeding at the time of delivery. The evaluation of these drugs is of great importance in monitoring these patients to define therapeutic conducts, so this study aimed to show that the D-dimer and spontaneous platelet aggregation, are methodologies for assessing the effectiveness of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in pregnant with thrombotic tendencies. He could see an increase in D-dimer levels of pregnant women and in some cases their value doubled in the second and third quarter, and even in the postpartum period, but with the therapeutic behavior followed no increase was observed above 3 μg/mL and platelet aggregation above 40 % allowed to define abortion. Finally note that we have been introduced to society 61 infants who are in excellent health with the use of these useful tools in monitoring pregnant women with thrombophilias.
