Acute coagulopathy in pregnancy

B E Finley. Med Clin North Am. 1989 May.

Abstract

Pregnancy alters both the fibrinolytic system and coagulation cascade. In addition, pregnancy presents unique triggering mechanisms for DIC. Management of DIC in pregnancy should include removal of the triggering mechanism, blood, and factor replacement. Inherited coagulation defects, while rarely resulting in bleeding diathesis in the pregnant patient, do require monitoring of maternal factor levels. Genetic counseling should be offered to all patients with inheritable coagulation disorders.
