Pre-eclampsia is a relatively common complication of pregnancy. HELLP Syndrome (Haemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, Low Platelet) is a pregnancy specific disorder, frequently associated with severe manifestation of Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia with significant morbidity and mortality for pregnant women and their children, but can also be diagnosed in the absence of these disorders.
