gestational thrombocytopenia

Thrombocytopenia occurring during pregnancy (usually less than 70,000 platelets/mm3). Serious illnesses that cause low platelet counts (such as disseminated intravascular coagulation, HELLP syndrome, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, preeclampsia, systemic lupus erythematosus, or leukemia) should be ruled out. If no illness is present, the condition is usually benign.
