HELLP SYNDROME WITH PERSISTENT SEVERE THROMBOCYTOPENIA: A CASE REPORT
HELLP syndrome is a severe form of pre-eclampsia, referring to a group of clinical syndromes with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia in pregnant women. It involves inadequate placentation during early pregnancy, associated with the effects of hepatic and coagulation cascades. It is associated with a severe disease with rapid onset of clinical manifestations that often coexist with fetal growth restriction, with childbirth being the efficient and definitive treatment of HELLP syndrome. METHODOLOGY: We present a case of a patient with Pre-eclampsia aggravated by HELLP Syndrome, approved by the Ethics Committee, CAAE 52415521.6.0000.8069.
