"Medical Care of the Pregnant Patient provides primary care physicians with the practical knowledge needed to approach medically complicated pregnant patients. Topics include preparing for pregnancy, obstetric monitoring, hypertension, renal disease, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, rheumatic disorders, gastrointestinal and liver disease, cancer, nervous system disorders, infectious diseases, diseases of the skin and postpartum disorders. Chapters generally begin with a table of normal values for diagnostic tests that reflect the physiologic changes of pregnancy and conclude with a drug table for use in a clinical context when one of the medications is indicated."--BOOK JACKET

This title contains sections on key values and normal values for diagnostic tests that reflect the physiological changes in pregnancy. At the end of each section there is a specific drug table that physicians can refer to when use of one of the medications listed, is indicated.

The counseling and care of all pregnant women, especially those with medical illness, should ideally begin before conception.
