| Abstract: | The time course of changes in the parameters of the corpuscular volume of red blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and platelets was studied during uncomplicated pregnancy. It was ascertained that in pregnancy, the mean volume of red and white blood cells and that of platelets remained steady-state. Adaptive changes were observed in the fine structure of blood cells of all types. Factor analysis demonstrated that evaluation of a system of parameter intercorrelations in the distribution of blood cells by their volume allows pregnancy phases to be clearly differentiated. |
