ABSTRACT

HELLP syndrome represents a variety of severe preeclampsia constituted by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia that presents during the prepartum period or during the immediate puerperium as either a progressive or a sudden disease. As in preeclampsia its pathogenesis still remains unknown; however it is well known the need for aggressive management in a specialized delivery unit to avoid maternal and perinatal complications. Despite representing a true obstetric emergency there’s still unknown matters regarding HELLP´s syndrome diagnostic criteria and on corticosteroid use benefit as a therapeutic tool.
