  • Title: The kinetics of blood coagulability: fibrinolytic and kallikrein-kinin system at the onset and during labor.
    Author: Suzuki S, Sakamoto W.
    Journal: Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol; 1984 May; 17(2-3):209-18. PubMed ID: 6564040.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between the kallikrein-kinin system, the coagulation system, and the fibrinolytic system was evaluated on 58 patients during pregnancy, labor and puerperium. Also included in this study were 7 patients with premature placental separation. The most prominent changes were those in the kallikrein-kinin system. After the onset of labor, prekallikrein decreases rapidly which may trigger changes in the blood coagulation and fibrinolytic system. The three systems have a close interrelationship possibly affecting uterine contractility during labor and delivery.
