Inherited disorders of coagulation in pregnancy

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology
F B Rigby, T E Nolan

Abstract

Normal physiology has been reviewed to serve as a basis for understanding the abnormalities leading to the inherited coagulation disorders. These abnormalities involve each of the three arms of the coagulation process: platelets, the coagulation cascade, and the clot prevention/lysis pathways. Pregnancy presents a unique challenge to women with these disorders. However, with close attention to the natural course of the disorder and appropriate therapy instituted in a timely fashion, many of these women can achieve successful pregnancies.
