Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose HELLP syndrome
Are you currently pregnant?
Do you have any swelling in any part of your body?
Do you have headaches or does your head feel heavy?
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.
