Pseudocholinesterase deficiency associated with HELLP syndrome.
We report a case of decreased plasma pseudocholinesterase activity in a patient with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. The pseudocholinesterase activity returned to normal with concomitant recovery of HELLP syndrome. This possible association is significant when general anesthesia is provided to patients with HELLP syndrome.
