Thrombotic microangiopathies during pregnancy and puerperium are rare and, if undiagnosed, can be life-threating conditions for both the mother and the baby. The aim of this review article is to briefly describe clinical profile and highlight the clues for a correct diagnosis of pregnancy-related thrombotic microangiopathies. Of particular interest and important practical significance are the presented data on changes in the hemostatic system in patients with a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 through the prism of thrombotic microangiopathies.
