Maternal thrombocytopenia in pregnancy

چکیده
Thrombocytopenia is a common occurrence in pregnancy. Although pregnancy is associated with physiological changes in platelet count, several pathological conditions cause thrombocytopenia, which can have a significant impact on the mother and the baby. There are diverse etiologies for thrombocytopenia, some of which are unique to pregnancy. This review provides a detailed discussion of the diagnosis and management of the various causes of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy. 1 Department of Internal Medicine, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa

OBJECTIVES Thrombocytopenia is defined as a platelet count of < 150 × 10⁹/L. It is a common hematologic abnormality during pregnancy. Evaluation and treatment of gestational thrombocytopenia can be both, expensive and invasive, and may result in an adverse outcome.

Thrombocytopenia is a common hematologic abnormality during pregnancy. It may be a diagnostic and management problem, and has many causes, some of them specific to pregnancy. We considered all singleton deliveries after 24 weeks of gestation between 2007 and 2012 in our third level centre.

متن کاملMaternal platelet antibody levels in neonatal isoimmune thrombocytopenia.
A case of neonatal isoimmune thrombocytopenia (NIT) is described in which maternal platelet antibody levels decreased during the course of pregnancy. It is suggested that if this disorder is clinically suspected, maternal serum should be assessed for anti-platelet specificity using immunoblot analysis.
متن کاملA prospective study of maternal anti-HPA 1a antibody level as a potential predictor of alloimmune thrombocytopenia in the newborn.
BACKGROUND Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is most commonly due to transplacental passage of maternal anti-HPA 1a antibodies. A prospective study was carried out to evaluate the pattern and quantity of maternal anti-HPA 1a antibodies in order to predict the level of thrombocytopenia in the neonates. DESIGN AND METHODS A monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigen assay was use...
