Abstract

The most common diseases of the blood system in pregnant women are anemia and thrombocytopenia (TP). There is a general tendency to significantly reducing of the number of platelets during pregnancy, starting from the first trimester with a minimum number of them during childbirth.

Purpose — to learn the features of motion of pregnancy, diagnostic and curative tactician at the thrombocytopenia during pregnancy.

The causes of TP during pregnancy are three groups of conditions — conditions for which TP is characteristic outside of pregnancy and conditions associated with pregnancy: gestational thrombocytopenia (GTP), pregnancy-specific complications, manifestations of diseases characterized by TP, with the chief reason among them — immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The most common cause of TP during pregnancy is GTP, which, like ITP, is diagnose of exclusion that require differential diagnosis. The goal of treating TP during pregnancy is to achieve a safe platelet count that is different for each trimester, not target values. If the treatment of ITP is need lines of therapy with control of efficiency are consistently applied. Pregnant women with moderate and severe TP are a group of high perinatal risk, requiring careful differential diagnosis of the causes of TP, calculation of maternal and fetal risks, choice of tactics of such pregnancy, method and time of delivery, formation of postnatal care plan.
