(A) In Group A, thrombocytopenia developed within 21 days (95×103 /µl) post-transplant. In contrast, there was no decrease in platelet count in Group B.

(B) Fibrinogen level was dramatically decreased in Group A by day 21 (105 mg/dL), whereas no reduction of fibrinogen was observed in Group B.

(C) In both groups, there was an immediate rise in the D-dimer levels by day 3 (>2 ug/ml). This increased D-dimer level was sustained in Group A, although it slightly recovered in day 14 (1.3 ug/ml), and then gradually increased throughout the post-transplant course in Group B.
