Zusammenfassung
Die Inzidenz der Thrombozytopenie in der Schwangerschaft (< 150 000/µl) liegt zwischen
7 % und 8 %; bei etwa 75 % der Schwangeren mit einer Thrombozytopenie handelt es sich
um eine benigne Gestationsthrombozytopenie. Die immunologisch bedingten Thrombozytopenien
(autoimmune und alloimmune Thrombozytopenie) sind von besonderem Interesse, da hieraus
eine fetale oder neonatale Thrombozytopenie resultieren kann. Die ITP ist gekennzeichnet
durch Autoantikörper der Klasse IgG gegen zirkulierenden Thrombozyten und ihre Vorstufen.
Hirnblutungen, hervorgerufen durch eine vaginale Geburt, sind extrem selten, eine
Indikation zur primären Sectio caesarea ist nicht gegeben. Die neonatale Alloimmunthrombozytopenie
ist Folge einer fetomaternale Thrombozyteninkompatibilität. Bei den erkrankten Kindern
kommt es in 10-20 % der Fälle zu intrakraniellen Blutungen, die in bis zu 25-50 %
der Fälle bereits in utero entstanden sind. Das unkalkulierbar verlaufende HELLP-Syndrom
tritt mehrheitlich im III. Trimenon (Median34. SSW) auf. Die Thrombotisch-thrombozytopenische
Purpura (TTP) und das Hämolytisch-urämische-Syndrom (HUS) gehören zu den primären
thrombotischen Mikroangiopathien. Die TTP tritt in der Mehrzahl Fälle antepartal (bis
zur 24. SSW) auf, das HUS entwickelt sich typischerweise einige Tage bis zu 10 Wochen
nach normaler Schwangerschaft und Geburt. Eine Heparin-induzierte Thrombozytopenie
mit Verminderung vorher normwertiger Blutplättchen auf < 150 000/µl bzw um ≥ 50 %
des Ausgangswertes ist die wichtigste Komplikation einer Heparingabe.
Differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy
Summary
Thrombocytopenia (< 150 000/µl) is a common finding, occurring in 7-8 % of pregnancies.
Some conditions, such as gestational thrombocytopenia pose no maternal or fetal risks.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired haematologic disorder, common
among children and adults, with unknown etiology and autoimmune pathogenesis. The
incidence of severe fetal and neonatal thrombocytopenia is very rare, and neonatal
intracranial hemorrhage is unlikely to be related to the mode of delivery. Alloimmune
thrombocytopenia occurs with an incidence of 1/1,000 livebirths and is induced by
a maternal alloimmunization against fetal platelet antigens. The incidence of intracranial
haemorrhage in the fetus and neonate is the highest for any immune thrombocytopenia.
The HELLP syndrome is a severe, unpredictable and life-threatening complication of
preeclampsia, characterized by a triad of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low
platelet counts. HELLP syndrome develops in the third trimester but can occur postpartum.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are
syndromes of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. During pregnancy,
TTP usually presents in the second trimester, whereas HUS develops in the postpartum
period. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type II is a serious, immune-mediated complication
of heparin therapy.
