Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets, or HELLP syndrome, is a rare form of preeclampsia.1 Epigastric pain, due to liver enlargement, parenchymal necrosis, or rupture, may be the only symptom of this syndrome. Ultrasound examination may be useful in detecting liver hemorrhage or infarction in patients with HELLP syndrome. A case of HELLP syndrome in which sonographic changes of the liver were demonstrated during a 48-hour time period is reported here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
