[HELLP syndrome. Epidemiological, nosological and prognostic aspects].
The authors report a prospective and controlled study of hellp syndrome in two groups of patients: normal and preeclamptic. Hellp syndrome was seen only in the pre-eclamptic group (19.3 per cent). Maternal prognosis was poor when Hellp syndrome was confirmed. Several maternal complications were seen: severe hypertension, subarachnoid hemorrhage, coagulation disorders and renal failure. Maternal mortality was high (16.7 per cent). Hellp syndrome does not worsen fetal prognosis, which is already compromised by pre-eclampsia.
