ABSTRACT

HELLP syndrome is a multisystem complication of pregnancy of unknown etiology that affects 0.9% of all pregnancies and is associated with high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, elevated liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia consumption. It occurs mainly in the third trimester of pregnancy affecting target organ disease such as liver, kidneys and blood and although the definitive treatment is termination of pregnancy, it is necessary to use other therapeutic measures to reduce maternal and fetal complications of this disease. The ultimate outcome will depend partly on how quickly the diagnosis is made and treatment begins.
