Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Nephrology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome are critical conditions during pregnancy.
  • Understanding the clinical presentation and complications is vital for timely intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review 15 cases of severe pre-eclampsia with HELLP syndrome.
  • To identify common symptoms, complications, and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case review of 15 patients.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Patients commonly presented with severe hypertension, epigastric/right hypochondrial pain (66.6%), nausea/vomiting (53.8%), and edema (60%).

  • Acute renal insufficiency was the most frequent complication (80%).
  • Mortality rate was 20%, with causes including ARDS, brain hemorrhage, and hypovolemic shock.

    • Conclusions:

    • Severe pre-eclampsia with HELLP syndrome is associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality.
    • Prompt recognition and management of symptoms like hypertension and abdominal pain are crucial.
    • Acute renal insufficiency and other severe complications necessitate intensive care and vigilant monitoring.
