Abstract:
The HELLP syndrome is a variant of severe preeclampsia. Its leading symptoms are: hemolysis, increased liver enzymes and low platelet count. The treatment of the HELLP syndrome remains controversial as there are no standards of proven efficacy. The article presents a case of a 27- year-old patient, G1P0, 30 wk of gestation, reporting no fetus movements for several hours, who was admitted to The Materno-Fetal Medicine Department, Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital in Lódź, with symptoms of the onset of the HELLP syndrome. The authors present the course of the therapy based on steroids administration, with reference to the most up-to-date literature.
