Book Description
With notable expansion in the clinical interaction between hematologists and obstetricians over the last decade, understanding and managing the clinical manifestations of hemato-obstetric science has become increasingly important. A new reference work in this growing field, this text is a key tool in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, providing the reader with a user-friendly, authoritative source of information, which incorporates best practice within internationally accepted guidelines. Clearly presented and easy to use, each chapter includes: * pathophysiology * presentation * differential diagnosis * diagnostic tests and difficulties * maternal, fetal, and potential management complications * implications for screening and future management * tables summarizing the key points in diagnosis and management. A practical, reader-friendly book, this text will be an important resource for clinical staff involved in the management of pregnancy - from trainees in obstetrics, hematology and vascular medicine, to general practitioners involved in day-to-day maternity care, as well as midwifery staff and specialists in hematology, obstetrics and vascular medicine.
