The following tests are related to blood coagulation disorders in obstetrics except:
A complete coagulation profile is done which includes fibrinogen,fibrin degradation products,paial thromboplastin time,prothrombin time,platelet count.The best marker of severity is the fibrinogen level (refer pgno:137 sheila textbook of obstetrics 2 nd edition)
Thrombocytopenia is a feature of fibrinolytic process and not of DIG
In Die, RBC will be 'helmet' shaped or fragmented in fibrinolytic process, the cell morphology is nominal
Weiner clot observation test gives a rough estimstfi of total blood fibrinogen level
Thrombocytopenia can be diagnosed from the peripheral smear
