Objectives: To evaluate the Effect of oral contraceptives treatment on the Coagulation parameters (PT, APTT, and D-Dimer) among
Sudanese women.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study conducted at Khartoum State, Sudan, during the period of May 2018 to
December 2018.sixity nine (N = 69) patients using oral contraceptive pills were included in this study. Venous blood was obtained

method using Ichroma analyzer.
Results: The present study showed that there was no significant differences in mean of PT in study group compared to the mean
normal control (p value = 0.06) .In the other hand the mean of INR is significantly (p value = 0.04) increased in study group compared
to the mean of normal value (mean = 1.05 and 1.0 respectively), whereas APTT was significantly decreased in study group (compared
to the mean of normal value (mean = 31.3, 33), (p value = 0.001). But the D-Dimer was positive for 8 women (11.6%) (D-Dimer = >
10000 ng/ml).
Conclusion: There was significant decrease in APTT, D-Dimer was positive in 11.6 % in contraceptive women, while there was no
