HELLP syndrome is a very uncommon condition that affects the blood and liver during pregnancy. The acronym HELLP stands for hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count, which are the three primary symptoms. It is considered a severe form of preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. Symptoms of HELLP syndrome include vomiting, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, and changes in vision. If left untreated, the mother and baby can experience serious complications, such as premature delivery, liver failure, and bleeding.
