  • Title: beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) and platelet factor 4 (PF4) in obstetrical cases.
    Author: Arocha-Piñango CL, Ojeda A, López G, García L, Linares J.
    Journal: Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand; 1985; 64(2):115-20. PubMed ID: 2580418.
    Abstract:
    The plasma levels of beta-Thromboglobulin (beta-TG) and Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) were measured in patients during the normal obstetrical period and in pre-eclampsia. A significant increase was observed in the two proteins with respect to the non-pregnant control group but no difference was seen between pregnancy and puerperium in either the normal or pre-eclamptic cases. The one significant variation in the concentration of the two proteins was a sharp rise during parturition. There was no correlation between beta-TG, PF4 and either the platelet count or creatinine but urea and uric acid did show a slight correlation with the two platelet proteins.
