ABSTRACT
HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelet count) syndrome is a severe and rapidly progressing condition that requires distinct diagnostic considerations. The lack of classical symptoms and inability to differentiate the symptoms worsen the degree of disease progression. This report highlights Postpartum HELLP syndrome which developed two days after a preterm labor. After 48hours of birthing the patient developed troubling headache and epigastric pain which made her to seek medical attention. Substantial evidence of blood parameters corroborates HELLP syndrome. Appropriate and timely management rectified the progression and prevented deadly complications.
Keywords: HELLP syndrome, post-partum, preeclampsia, Mississippi classification.
