Abstract
Our study revealed that pregnancy was associated with elevated plasma TAFI antigen levels. However, no additional effect of gestational diabetes was found on plasma TAFI antigen levels beyond pregnancy. We suggest that pregnancy is associated with enhanced coagulation and impaired fibrinolysis. Despite increased PAI-1 antigen levels associated with gestational diabetes, the effect of gestational diabetes on TAFI antigen levels is lacking.
