(AP) A simple blood test now appears possible that would identify women who may develop dangerous blood clots while taking the contraceptive "pill," a research scientist said Wednesday. For women thus identified, the drug heparin a so-called blood-thinning agent could then be used for protection against' clots that may form during surgery or after injury. The test might also relieve the worry of millions of women by showing that they are not in particular danger of forming clots when taking the oral a i a i i estrogen, the female sex hor- mone.

About 12 million American women take such pills and experts say relatively few risk form ation of clots because of it. The first steps toward such a potential test were described to an American Heart Association science writers' forumby Dr. Stanford Wessler of New York University School of Medicine. blood test would identify women in whom the estrogen pill interfered with defense mechanisms against formation of blood clots. How blood clots lorm is an intricate process, involving many elements in the blood.

One of those elements or factors i a i i 3 i inhibits the action of factor Xa, a key in the final formation of clots. The test would show whether estrogen affects the reaction time to bring greater chance that factor Xa could induce clots in the legs, heart or brain. Only a very small percentage of women taking the.pill ever get into trouble with blood clots, Dr. Wessler said. Their ten- dency to form clots is increased if they undergo surgery or suffer injury, Small doses of hep'arin enhance the ability of an- i i 3 to a i factor Xa.
