Ans.
(A) Fibrinogen levels are increased ;
(D) Sodium retention :
• Fibrinogen level is raised by 50% from 200 — 400 mg % in non pregnant to 300 — 600 mg % in pregnancy.
• During pregnancy there is variable amount of retention of electrolytes. e.g. sodium (20 gm) and potassium (10 gm) and chloride.
• Causesof ↑ed Na retention during pregnancy are :
- ↑ estrogen and progesterone
- ↑ aldosterone, activation of renin angiotensin system.
- due to increase antidiuretic hormone.
