Abstract

Abstract: Thrombotic Microangiopathies during pregnancy and puerperium are very rare and, if undiagnosed, can be lifethreating. Pregnancy and postpartum can represent a trigger in predisposed patients. Therefore, obstetricians are usually the first to observe clinical symptoms and laboratory abnormalities suggestive of Thrombotic Microangiopathies. The aim of this review is to briefly describe the obstetrical and perinatal outcome of these entities and highlight the clues for a correct diagnosis of pregnancy-related Thrombotic Microangiopathies.
