Abstract

Blood coagulation of healthy premature newborns, since birth, was studied for 45 days by a method of capillary blood sampling in a plastic tube. The most often measured clotting factors allowed to establish control coagulation times for the tests performed in premature sick infants. In this study, the clotting factors were identical in at-term and premature children. Vitamin-K dependent factors showed the most important deficits; however, at birth their levels seemed higher in at-term newborns. They reached control values after one month, with a progressive evolution. The other blood-clotting factors were normal.

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.
