Hormones and Pregnancy "Basic Science and Clinical Implications"

95
90.25
The endocrine and neuroendocrine system in pregnancy involves highly complex maternal, fetal and placental mechanisms, which are critical for the maintenance of pregnancy, the timing of parturition, for fetal growth and protection from adverse fetal programming. This timely book summarizes the different endocrine aspects related to pregnant women, describing how hormones regulate physiological homeostasis and influence the pathogenesis of disease. The first section of the book covers the role of specific hormones in detail, including oxytocin, hCG and estrogen. The second section discusses gestational disorders such as diabetes, hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia and how the involvement of hormones has clinical implications for management. Best practice for management of endocrine disorders, which can negatively impact pregnancy, such as thyroid disease and obesity, is also reviewed. This book is essential for clinicians and scientists looking to gain knowledge of the role of hormones in pregnancy and how they can best support patients.



Authors come from a range of backgrounds including endocrinology, obstetrics, gynaecology and clinical physiology, providing the multidisciplinary perspective essential for a complete overview of this complex subject
Pragmatic in style, this is a highly practical resource for clinicians and scientists seeking guidance on how to be manage patients with gestational disorders and endocrine diseases in pregnancy
Hormones and their role in pregnancy are discussed individually, allowing clinicians to quickly access information that is relevant to their patients
