HELLP syndrome is considered a variant of pre-eclampsia, an obstetric disorder characterised by high blood pressure in the pregnant woman. This can lead to complications for both the pregnant woman and her unborn child.
Like pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome usually occurs in the last months of pregnancy and in some cases even after delivery.
Apart from high blood pressure, other symptoms associated with pre-eclampsia include headaches, fatigue, nausea, nosebleeds and blurred vision.
