Abstract
Summary: Fibrinolytic activity is known to be markedly diminished during pregnancy. Blood lipids are also significantly altered during pregnancy but to a different extent in different ethnic groups in Uganda. A study of fibrinolytic activity and blood lipids in African, Asian and European women (non‐pregnant and pregnant) showed no relationship between the changes in these two parameters and did not suggest that altered blood lipid levels are responsible for abnormal fibrinolytic activity in pregnancy.Keywords
