Abstract
Antithrombin-(AT)-III levels from 22 patients were determined at the day of delivery but also at the 1st and 5th day post partum. Patients (7) had an AT-III-level in a pathologically low range. A close correlation was found between the degree of seriousness of gestosis and AT-III-reduction as well as hypercoagulability expressed in an elevated normotest. With 2 patients serious complications arose intra- and postoperatively. One patient got a coagulopathy during the sectio, the other patient developed, in spite of heparin treatment, a deep thrombosis in the leg vein. These women had the lowest AT-III-levels from all 22 patients. These results underline the importance of an AT-III-control, above all with surgical operations of gestose patients.
