Hematologic disorders in pregnancy.
Hematologic disorders in pregnancy are relatively common and encompass a wide spectrum of clinical conditions. The treatment and obstetric management of the majority of these diseases are well established, although controversy exists in areas such as sickle cell disease and ITP. Once the diagnosis of a specific disorder is confirmed, therapy is directed toward improved perinatal outcome. Recent advances in prenatal diagnostic techniques make in utero diagnosis feasible for most of the inherited disorders and aid in genetic counseling.
