CA125-Associated Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time and Thrombin Time Decrease in Patients with Adenomyosis
In adenomyosis patients, elevated CA125 levels correlate with shortened activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time, indicating a potential hypercoagulable state.

This retrospective observational study measured CA125 and coagulation parameters (CA125-associated activated partial thromboplastin time [APTT] and thrombin time [TT]) in 200 adenomyosis patients, 240 uterine leiomyoma patients, and 81 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN-III) patients, comparing blood-sample results and analyzing associations with clinical symptoms. Adenomyosis patients had higher CA125 levels than the comparison groups, and APTT and TT were shorter in the adenomyosis group versus controls; multivariate logistic regression further linked adenomyosis with CA125 level and with shorter APTT and TT, and also associated these findings with menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea. Correlation analyses showed negative relationships between CA125 level and both APTT and TT. The paper does not explicitly state limitations in the provided text; overall, its methodology is retrospective and observational. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis—assessing how CA125-related changes in APTT and TT relate to hypercoagulability in adenomyosis patients.
