Abstract
Sufficient concentration and function of thrombocytes constitute an important part of adequate haemostasis in both pregnant and non-pregnant individuals. Any form of thrombocytopaenia may occur in up to 15% of pregnancies with its most frequent form-gestational thrombocytopaenia-being of rather minor importance due to its mild clinical course. Complex variants of thrombocytopaenia as well as rarely encountered genuine thrombocytopathic diseases, however, require risk-adjusted monitoring both during pregnancy and delivery and constitute a prime example of an interdisciplinary approach for (high) risk patients.
