Thrombin-Antithrombin III Complex and D-Dimer in Neonates

Signs of Thrombin Generation During Birth

  • Conference paper
Perinatal Thrombosis and Hemostasis

Abstract

In neonates, especially in sick neonates, signs of enhanced proteolysis are observed: (1) after birth the fibrinolytic activity is high, (2) fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products are elevated, and (3) fibrinogen is lower immediately after birth than after 3 days of life. Factor VIII activity is very high immediately after birth and activity of factor VIII is higher than factor VIII antigen suggesting activation of factor VIII [1–5].
