Multidisciplinary management of a pregnant woman with hepatic rupture complicated with HELLP syndrome

Am J Transl Res. 2024 Mar 15;16(3):933-939. doi: 10.62347/RASL4490. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTA 32-year-old woman with preeclampsia who presented with persistent severe hypertension and epigastric pain underwent an emergency cesarean section for fetal distress and was diagnosed with hepatic rupture and HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and a low platelet) syndrome. After the operation, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for supportive treatment and management of complications. Diagnosis and treatment decisions were made through multidisciplinary management. The patient received plasma exchange and continuous renal replacement therapy. One week after the operation, the patient developed deep vein thrombosis and received anticoagulant therapy, which triggered rebleeding. Conservative treatment was taken, including halving the dosage of anticoagulant medication and performing a blood transfusion, and the patient's condition gradually stabilized. The patient was discharged 44 days after the operation. Early diagnosis, effective treatment, and multidisciplinary management can help patients with this critical presentation achieve good clinical outcomes.PMID:38586103 | PMC:PMC10994784 | DOI:10.62347/RASL4490
