Thrombocytopenia during pregnancy presents unique challenges for the hematologist. Obstetricians generally manage many of the pregnancy-specific etiologies, ranging from the benign (gestational thrombocytopenia) to the life-threatening (preeclampsia; hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets syndrome; and acute fatty liver of pregnancy). However, hematologists may be consulted for atypical and severe presentations and to help manage non-pregnancy specific etiologies, including immune thrombocytopenia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome and antiphospholipid syndrome, among others, in which maternal and fetal risks must be considered. This review provides a general approach to the diagnosis and management of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy for the consulting hematologist.
