| Abstract |
|
The HELLP syndrome(hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets) is a complication of severe preeclampsia or eclampsia and associated with increased maternal and perinatal mortality. Exact pathogenic mechanism is still unclear but the microangiopathic hemolytic anemia combined with endothelial cell damage is suspected to be closely associated with disease process. Variable degree of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC) may be accompanied with the HELLP syndrome. We report a case of postpartum HELLP synd- rome. She is 24 year-old woman. She showed defi- nite evidence of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, DIC, elevated liver enzymes and acute renal failure. Liver biopsy revealed fatty change with focal fibrin like material deposition in the portal tract area. She recovered completely with conservative treatment in 2 weeks. |
