Associated Conditions of Pregnancy
| About associated conditions: Associated conditions are those which appear statistically related, but do not have a clear cause or effect relationship. Whereas the complications are caused by Pregnancy, and underlying causes may be causes of Pregnancy, the following list shows associated conditions that simply appear with higher frequency in people who have Pregnancy. In some cases, there may be overlap between this list and risk factors for Pregnancy. People with Pregnancy may be more likely to get a condition on the list of associated conditions, or the reverse may be true, or both. Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply coincidentally related to Pregnancy is not always clear. For general information, see Associated Condition Misdiagnosis. |
