Physiologic Changes of pregnancy - Hematologic:
• ↑ plasma volume
• ↑ red blood cell mass (less than plasma resulting in an apparent decrease in Hb and HCT)
• ↑ WBC count
• ↑ most coagulation proteins (fibrinogen, not factor XIII); important with respect to development of DVT
• ↑ transport proteins leading to increase in the total levels of those hormones and minerals they bind
• ↓ total protein (largely dilutional)
• ↓ serum albumin
