ABSTRACT

A síndrome HELLP é definida classicamente pela presença de hemólise, elevação das enzimas hepáticas e plaquetopenia durante a gravidez. Acredita-se que essa síndrome seja uma variante da pré-eclâmpsia grave, apesar de nem sempre ocorrer hipertensão arterial. A síndrome HELLP ocorre em cerca de 1 a 2 casos a cada 1.000 gestações, e sua importância reside na elevada morbimortalidade materna e fetal. Dessa forma, o diagnóstico oportuno poderá livrar a mãe e o feto dos efeitos deletérios da doença. O tratamento definitivo consiste no parto, entretanto, a conduta dependerá da idade gestacional, da vitalidade fetal e das condições clínicas maternas. Neste artigo revisam-se os principais indícios diagnósticos da síndrome HELLP, bem como as condutas para o melhor benefício materno-fetal.


HELLP syndrome is classically defined by the presence of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (thrombocytopenia), during pregnancy. It is considered a variant of severe pre-eclampsia, although hypertension might not always occur. HELLP syndrome occurs in approximately 1 to 2 cases per 1000 pregnancies, and its importance is related to the high maternal and fetal mortality. Thus the diagnosis should be able to deliver mother and fetus from the deleterious effects of the disease. The definitive treatment is the delivery, however HELLP prognosis will depend on the fast diagnosis, and the treatment must take into consideration the gestational age, the fetal and the maternal medical conditions. This review article focus on HELLP syndrome major evidences as well as on the best maternal-fetal benefitial behavior.
