STUDY OF HAEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS-PLATELET COUNT, ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME, PROTHROMBIN TIME AND INTERNATIONAL NORMALIZED RATIO IN PREGNANT FEMALES WITH AND WITHOUT DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS

Deep vein thrombosis having the haematological parameters- Platelet count, Prothrombin time, Activated partial thromboplastin time and International Normalized ratio in pregnant females with DVT and pregnant females without DVT. 50 pregnant females – bearing age (20 – 40 years) presented with signs of DVT was confirmed by ultrasound and was investigated for PT, APTT and platelet count other Healthy matched 50 pregnant females of child – bearing age (20- 40 years) presented without signs of DVT as control group were enclosed within the study. For all participants, clinical risk factors, smoking standing, and different demographic information were recorded from hospital reports. Platelet count is low in pregnant females with DVT than control group, while other parameters-Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time were significantly higher in pregnant females with DVT than control group except international normalized ratio which was found to be same. Form the study we concluded that Platelet count is low while other parameters- Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time were significantly higher in DVT patients compared to control group. Also, pregnant females (77.5%) with DVT deliver their baby with C-section.
