Abstract
The soluble fibrin monomer complexes (SFMC) in 154 obstetric patients with possible disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) were evaluated in SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) after precipitation with B-alanine. Other coagulation tests were performed on these patients. The patients were classified into three groups: A) patients with a clinical history of DIC (6 cases); B) patients with only the analytical alterations of DIC (35 cases); and C) patients who showed pathological obstetric diagnoses but without a clinical nor analytical history of DIC (113 cases). In the three groups, well-defined bands of less electrophoretic mobility than fibrinogen were obtained. A significant increase in the second electrophoretic band was found in group A (5.1 per cent) when compared to group C (0.5 per cent). The second electrophoretic band appeared in greater proportion in the group of patients with an unfavorable clinical evolution.
