This review is from: Medical Complications During Pregnancy, 5e (Hardcover)

I first read from this book, when I need updated information for a case with thrombocytopenia associated with pregnancy. I was amazed by the way how the authors characterized any medical field implied in pregnancy management. Therefore I decided to buy it, and now I'm sure that is a valuable asset for my personal library. Beside the specific aspects of medical complications (like cardiovascular, hematological, endocrinological or infectious diseases) I was able to find also systematized, new information about management of the high risk pregnancy, medical emergencies, substance abuse or clinical genetics. It is a very useful book either for anyone who wants to improve his knowledge with new information about medical aspects of pregnancy but also for obstetricians, even if they've already got the previous editions, because they could raise theirs practice to higher levels.
