We studied hematological changes in toxemia of pregnancy and obtained the following conclusion. Toxemia of pregnancy is accompanied by a significant extension in bleeding time, a decrease in levels of fibrinogen and plasma factor XIII, significant increases in prothrombin time and active partial thromboplastin time, and significant increases in serum‐urine FDP, platelet aggregation and platelet spreadability as compared to normal gravidas. Toxemia of pregnancy assumed an aspect of chronic DIC.
