What is HELLP Syndrome?
This is a life-threatening syndrome in pregnancy and a form of severe pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure with associated organ damage in pregnancy). HELLP stands for Hemolysis (rupture of red blood cells); EL (elevated liver enzymes causing liver dysfunction); LP (low platelet counts, resulting in bleeding).
Typical Symptoms of HELLP Syndrome
- Feel my child is moving less. (Decreased fetal movements)
- Seizure
- Currently pregnant
- Fainting
- Blood pressure 140mmHg or higher
- Headache
- Having difficulty urinating or producing less urine
- Swelling of the arms or hands
Diagnostic Questions for HELLP Syndrome
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your child moving less?
- Have you experienced any seizures?
- Are you pregnant?
- Have you fainted recently?
- Is your blood pressure 140mmHg or higher?
Treatment of HELLP Syndrome
This requires emergency medical care. The best treatment is to deliver the baby, so the specialist may recommend an early or premature delivery. Hospitalization for close monitoring is needed to protect both the baby and the mother along with medications to control blood pressure and prevent seizures (eclampsia).
