A case of aggravation of hemolytic anemia, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count syndrome after delivery.
Chin Med J (Engl). 2011 Apr; 124(8):1261-3.CM

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Hemolytic anemia, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome is a severe obstetric complication which usually resolves in most patients after delivery.

METHODS

We report a rare case of aggravation of HELLP syndrome after delivery.

RESULTS

The patient underwent the treatment for HELLP syndrome, including glucocorticoid therapy. The symptoms of HELLP syndrome reappeared and became more severe than before the termination of pregnancy. The patient also had severe and persistent hypoproteinemia, hyponatremia and hypocalcemia.

CONCLUSIONS

HELLP syndrome is an acute and critical obstetric syndrome which can have heterogeneous presentations and variable prognosis. We should be fully aware of the diverse clinical characteristics of this condition.
