Abstract

10 women with unwanted pregnancies in the first and second trimester were terminated by use of intramuscular injections of 15-Methyl-PGF2alpha. Studies of bleeding and recalcification time, platelet count, levels of heat-fibrin, prothrombin, partial thromboplastin time, platelet adhesiveness and heparinocytes were performed before treatment. 30 minutes, 4 and 8 hours after beginning of 15-Methyl-PGF2alpha-administration, 2 hours after the expulsion of the product of conception and 24 hours after first investigation. Prothrombin decreased during treatment with 15-Methyl-PGF2alpha and did not obtain the starting value 24 hours after first investigation. Platelet count showed an equal attitude. The time of recalcification increased continuous. Heparinocytes continuous decreased up to 2 hours after expulsion of the product of conception. 24 hours after first investigation a significant ascent was noticed. The results of the studies on coagulation did not indicate a strong injury of coagulation system. They suggest the positive estimation of termination of pregnancy in the first and second trimester with 15-Methyl-PGF2alpha.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
