title: Management of pre-eclampsia and haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome.
abstract: Pre-eclampsia remains a major cause of maternal and fetal ill-health. Defective placentation and endothelial dysfunction appear to underlie the clinical features. Recent publications regarding the diagnosis, treatment, prediction and prevention of pre-eclampsia, and contemporary issues in the management of the haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome, are discussed in this review.
