HELLP-HUS. Clinical case with delivery in a patient with the HELLP syndrome

The differential diagnosis of the HELLP syndrome with the development of renal failure and the hemolytic uremic syndrome, aggravating the course of the postpartum period, is rather difficult. These syndromes are based on microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, determining their virtually identical clinical picture. However, the difficulties in the differential diagnosis of these syndromes during the postpartum period do not preclude the correct choice of therapeutic strategy. The efficiency of efferent therapeutic methods in cases with manifest hemolysis causes no doubts by the present time. A clinical case is presented: diagnosis and treatment of the HELLP syndrome with the development of acute renal failure, manifesting during the postpartum period.
