Recurrent HELLP Syndrome at 22 Weeks of Gestation

Abstract: We describe a case of a woman who presented with HELLP syndrome in two subsequent pregnancies (age 36 and 40), at gestational age of 22 weeks in both pregnancies with a rapid onset and progression. She presented with characteristic clinical symptoms and laboratory findings. Both pregnancies were delivered by caesarean sections due to deterioration in the mother's condition, although neither pregnancy progressed into the 1st stage of the syndrome according to Mississippi classification. This case highlights the… Show more

She had a history of a previous termination in 2009 due to severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome, which was confirmed to be associated with a heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation.…”

“…6 In Kascak et al documented case, we report a rare recurrence of preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome, both occurrences manifesting at an early gestational age. 7 Previous investigations illustrate the rarity of HELLP syndrome before 28 weeks of gestation, with no instances reported in a study analyzing 34 pregnancies in Ostrava, Czech Republic. 13 Another tenyear analysis in a tertiary maternity center in the Netherlands documented 26 cases of preeclampsia occurring before 24 weeks, wherein 65% experienced severe maternal morbidity, including HELLP syndrome, eclampsia, pulmonary edema, and a single maternal death.…”

“…Even 10% of HELLP syndrome can occur below 27 weeks of gestational age. 19 This will be a concern since delivery is still the best management for HELLP syndrome. 20 SDP and DBP in preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome were different significantly (p<0.05) with median SDP was higher in HELLP and similar median DBP for both groups.…”
