The effect of Norplant subdermal implants on 22 different hemostatic variables was determined in 100 women attending the Fertility Control Clinic of the Singapore National University Hospital before and after 6 and 12 months of use. The factors analyzed were: hematocrit, hemoglobin (Hb), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), platelet count, fibrinogen, coagulation factor II, Factor V,Factor VII, Factor VIII, Factor VIIIR:Ag, Factor X, plasminogen activator, FDP, plasminogen (imm), antithrombin III (functional), antithrombin (antigen), protein C, alpha2-antiplasmin, alpha2-macroglobulin, alpha2-antitrypsin, platelet count, platelet aggregation (ADP), and platelet aggregation (collagen). The factors that differed significantly after 12 months were: Hb,PT,APTT, Factors II,V,VII, and VIIIR:Ag, Plasminogen (imm), antithrombin III(antigen), alpha2-antiplasmin, platelet count, and platelet aggregation. Most of these differences, while significant, were still within the normal range, except for PT,APTT, and platelet count. The subjects were considered to be in an enhanced risk for hypercoagulation and thrombosis.
