ABSTRACT
HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes and Low Platelets) was described by Weinstein in 1982. It has a high maternal and perinatal morbi-mortality rate. We undertook this study to evaluate perinatal outcome in patients with HELLP syndrome. Patients with HELLP syndrome were identified in a retrospective study between March 1998 and March 2001 at the Hospital Privado de Córdoba. Maternal and neonatal variables were analyzed. Nine patients with HELLP syndrome were identified (incidence 2.3@1000). Mean maternal age was 24.5 (15-36) years. Five patients were nuliparous. The mean gestational age was 34.5 weeks (29-40). The main symptom was epigastric pain (77.7
