“…A review of the literature revealed only a handful of relevant articles, and only five reported cases of co-occurring HELLP syndrome and PPCM. 4,13–16 In none of these did the HELLP syndrome and PPCM develop solely in the postpartum period. Our case is unique in this respect.…”

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a type of dilated cardiomyopathy in which the exact etiology is uncertain. HELLP syndrome is characterized by a constellation of different clinical and laboratory findings, including hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets. Few case reports exist detailing successful diagnosis and management of postpartum HELLP syndrome, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and multisystem organ failure in a previously healthy woman. We herein report the case of a 39-year-old multiparous female with mild gestational hypertension, who presented in the third trimester with vaginal bleeding and was subsequently suspected to have intrapartum placental abruption leading to immediate Cesarean section, complicated by massive postpartum hemorrhage, necessitating care in the intensive care unit. HELLP syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis subsequently developed along with respiratory failure and peripartum cardiomyopathy. After diagnosis and proper management, the patient made a full recovery. Peripartum cardiomyopathy should remain on the differential for women with heart failure symptoms.

We report a case of antenatal severe pre-eclampsia which was complicated by postpartum HELLP syndrome, acute kidney injury and postpartum cardiomyopathy. A 35-year-old patient in her 34th week of gestation underwent a cesarean section in view of severe pre-eclampsia. She developed HELLP syndrome postpartum, which was complicated by acute kidney injury. After the resolution of HELLP syndrome and improvement of her kidney function, she developed postpartum cardiomyopathy.
