Description
This reference work on medical disorders in obstetric practice provides practical advice on the major medical disorders the obstetrician is likely to encounter. Each chapter reviews the pathophysiology of a complaint, then applies the physiological and pathophysiological changes to the problem of diagnosis and management of the disorder, as well as giving guidance on the welfare of the unborn child. Each chapter teaches the principles of care, and gives an appreciation of the natural history of the disease rather than just the facts. The book includes new chapters on AIDS, psychiatric problems in pregnancy and cancer in pregnancy.
