[The Hellp syndrome. Clinical and laboratory test results].
The Hellp syndrome is a complication of toxemia. It may occur before, during or after childbirth and may not be accompanied by any sign of toxemia. The main clinical sign is pain in the hepatic region. Haptoglobin is the most reliable parameter to demonstrate hemolysis, which is one of the disorders related to this syndrome. In the authors' opinion, early diagnosis and immediate delivery by Cesarean are the appropriate methods to use to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality. Conservative treatment is not generally effective and is dangerous.
