Our findings indicate that: (1) mothers with a FD have evidence of increased in vivo thrombin generation and platelet activation than women with normal pregnancies; (2) patients with a FD and hypertension had a higher degree of TF activation than those with fetal death but without hypertension; (3) the AF of women with a FD had a higher median TF concentration and activity than that of normal pregnant women. AF can be a potential source for tissue factor and it participates in the development of fetal death syndrome in patients with a retained dead fetus.
