An Increased Plasma D-Dimer Levels During Different Stages of Normal and Complicated Pregnancies Among Women in Bisha, Saudi Arabia
D-dimer levels rise progressively throughout pregnancy and are significantly elevated in women with gestational diabetes and hypertension. These findings underscore the importance of interpreting D-dimer values in the context of gestational age and pregnancy complications. Additionally, maternal age influences D-dimer concentrations, emphasizing the need to interpret results within the context of age-related physiological changes during pregnancy.
