ABSTRACT
Introduction
Haemostasis and immunity are vital aspects of health greatly affected in pregnancy. Pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability and upregulated immune response are believed to be beneficial at some level, but are capable of triggering immunothrombosis. Advanced maternal age is considered a risk factor for several health complications associated with pregnancy. To this end, a comparative investigation of cellular immune response and coagulation are warranted.
