Dysfibrinogenemia in a patient undergoing artificial abortion after misdiagnosis and review of the literature

Simultaneous determination of fibrinogen concentrations using the Clauss method, prothrombin time-derived method, and immunoturbidimetry as well as measurement of the thrombin time, reptilase time, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and so on can effectively distinguish dysfibrinogenemia from other diseases. Special treatment of asymptomatic dysfibrinogenemia is not needed during pregnancy or surgery in the absence of bleeding or thrombotic events in the patient's personal or family history.
