The HELLP syndrome (H = hemolysis, EL = elevated liver enzymes, LP = low platelets) is a pregnancy complication which affects 10-20% of cases of severe preeclampsia. ⋯ A mother with a classic HELLP syndrome should be delivered after stabilisation of the clinical condition. A partial HELLP syndrome can be observed. Treatment with corticosteroids is beneficial.
