Abstract

As stated in this review, platelets functions and their important role in coagulabity in pregnancy must be well understood, not only in thrombosis related complications in pregnancy (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, thrombophilia).Clinical findings suggest that a periodical monitoring of haematological markers such as MPV and coagulation markers may be associated to Doppler velocimetry, keeping in mind also that the incidence of complications is increased in women who have heritable platelet function disorders.

Keywords: coagulation; high risk pregnancies; platelets.
