ABSTRACT:
Introduction: HELLP syndrome is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy associated with severe maternal-fetal complications and representing high morbidity and mortality.
Objective: A clinical history of HELLP syndrome as a complication of severe preeclampsia was analyzed, highlighting the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment.
Clinical case: A young 26-year-old multi-gestation patient from the city of Loja, with a family history of arterial hypertension, was diagnosed with HELLP syndrome and severe preeclampsia in the 33rd week of gestation after five prenatal check-ups and due to the severity of her condition, it was decided to terminate the pregnancy by cesarean section.
Conclusion: The importance and urgency of early identification and treatment of HELLP syndrome and its complications, highlighting the need for an individualized approach based on the patient’s laboratory studies and the importance of management in primary care and the patient’s care.
