Purpose. To determine the state of various stages of hemostasis in pregnant women with
hydramnion as a risk factor for premature detachment of the placenta.
Results. There was investigated the state of hemostasis in pregnant women with hydramnion
by low piezoelectric thromboelastography (LPTEG) and standard coagulogram. According to
the LPTEG results this group of women was found to have increased plasma coagulation
potential manifested in elevated constant thrombin activity (TAC) by 76.8%, the intensity of
coagulation drive (ICD) by 74.9%, maximum clot density (MA) by 16.8%, shortening of
coagulation time (T3) by 7.8% and inhibition of fibrinolysis manifested by decrease in
retraction intensity and clot lysis (RICL) by 67.7% (p<0.05).
Conclusions. The state of hemostasis in pregnant women with hydramnion is characterized
by increased plasma coagulation and inhibition of fibrinolysis potential that are factors of
preparing the woman’s body for the upcoming birth to control and minimize blood loss
