Abstract

Pregnant women with hepatitis B infection present with significant changes in their coagulation parameters, natural anticoagulants, and liver biomarkers. Furthermore, fibrinogen, protein C, and aPTT showed accurate diagnostic potential in detecting chronic viral hepatitis B infection and may be valuable surrogate indicators for managing chronic hepatitis-related complications.
