Item Prothrombin Time, Activated partial Thromboplastin Time and Platelets Count in Pregnant Females and Postpartum Period with Deep Venous Thrombosis(Al Neelain University-Faculty of Medical Laboratory Sciences, 2016-02) Huda I. Babiker; Hiba A. Awooda; Sana E. AbdallaBackground: Venous thromboembolism is one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, the aims of this work was to determine the levels of (Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and platelets count (PLts)) in pregnant and postpartum females affected with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Methods: This is a hospital based case control study conducted at Omdurman maternity hospital and Khartoum teaching hospital in Khartoum state, Sudan.The study involved 30 females divided in to two groups: Study group included fifty females of child bearing age (15-45) years presented with signs of DVT either during pregnancy or postpartum period were investigated for PT, APTT and Plts count and fifty, and control group of either pregnant and postpartum femals presented without signs of DVT, the study and control females completed questionnaire of personal data and clinical history such as age, usage of contraceptive pills, family history of DVT and number of pregnancies. Automated coagulometer method used to measure PT and APTT. While PLTs counted using automated haematological analyzer Sysmex K 21. Results: PT was prolonged in vast majority of case group (90%), while it was normal in 10% of study population. APTT was prolonged in 62% of patients, mostly higher in third trimester with percentage of 69.4%. Platelets count found normal in vast majority of patients in all 3 trimesters. Prolonged prothrombin times showed highly significant association between and cases and control groups (P = 0.000), no significant association between prolonged PT and APTT in the third trimester among the study population. Conclusion: Normal platelets level where found in both control and study group, while PT is significally prolonged among cases (P =0.00). APTT is also prolonged in study group; but no statistically significant association found when compared with control group.Item Assessment of Trace Elements, Total White Blood Cells and Platelets Count in Pregnant Ladies with Preeclampsia in Sudan(Al Neelain University-Faculty of Medical Laboratory Sciences, 2016-02) Akram Elkhair Noor Eldaem; Salah Ismael; Elfadil AL ObeidOmerPreeclampsia is a multisystem disorder of pregnancy, which complicates pregnancy. Maternal mortality with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia in Sudan is ascertained and accounts for 4.2% of the obstetric complications in Sudan. Despite decades of research into the condition, predicting which women are at increased risk of developing preeclampsia remains problematic and we did this study to detect the role of some elements and to correlate them with Preeclampsia. Pregnant ladies with preeclampsia were selected as cases, and age matched with normal pregnant ladies as controls. Venous blood samples were collected from every patients and controls. Trace elements, copper, zinc, and iron were measured. Total white blood cells and platelets were counted also. Levels of copper and zinc were low in patients while they were normal in controls. Iron was normal, total white blood cells were high in patients and platelets were low. The reduction in serum levels of zinc and copper during pregnancy might be possible contributor in etiology of pre-eclampsia.
