PY - 2022 T2 - Williams Obstetrics, 26e AB - Pregnant women are susceptible to several hematological abnormalities that may affect any woman of childbearing age. These include chronic disorders such as hereditary anemias, immunological thrombocytopenia, and hematological malignancies. Other disorders arise from pregnancy-induced demands. Two are iron deficiency and megaloblastic anemias. Pregnancy may also unmask underlying hematological conditions. Importantly, pregnancy induces physiological changes that often confuse diagnosis and assessment of these disorders (Chap. 4, p. 60).
