title: Special hematologic issues in the pregnant patient.
abstract: Evaluation and treatment of hematologic disorders in pregnancy requires an understanding of normal physiologic changes during pregnancy. Hematologic disorders may be caused by preexisting conditions, normal physiologic changes, or can be acquired. A multidisciplinary approach is often necessary for monitoring and treatment of both the mother and the fetus. In general, outcomes are good for both the mother and the fetus.
