Although representing no threat in the majority of patients,
thrombocytopenia in pregnancy may result from a range
of pathologic conditions requiring closer monitoring and
therapy. Occasionally, a low platelet count in pregnancy may
be part of a more complex and life threatening condition.
There is a vast range of conditions directly related to pregnancy
or just coexistent, which manifest with a low platelet count. A
correct diagnostic and management must be ensured in order
to avoid serious consequences for both mother and newborn.
This review article focuses on the clinical characteristics
and management of gestational thrombocytopenia and
its distinction from primary immune thrombocytopenia
and thrombotic microangiopathies of pregnancy.
