title: [Up-to-date on the HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets)].
abstract: HELLP syndrome is an acronym for Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets. It is generally considered in the literature as a particular clinical form of pre-eclampsia, a severe complication of the second half of pregnancy. However, this syndrome can occur in isolation in the absence of pre-eclampsia symptoms. Its pathophysiology remains still unclear. The clinical picture is often incomplete and fruste at first. To date, its diagnosis and management is still the subject of much controversy. Associated or not with a vascular and renal manifestations, the HELLP syndrome is a high-risk maternal disorder. The objective of this article is to review the pathophysiological and clinical data and current treatment.
