Abstract

HELLP syndrome is a life threatening dynamic condition for which a standardized approach to diagnosis and management. it usually manifests itself in 70% of all pregnancies in the last trimester of the same, due to an etiology that is not proven but usually presents an abnormal placental vasculature and endothelial cell defects. The syndrome consists in hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count. On the other hand, the incomplete HELLP syndrome has the same criteria but without one of them. The weeks of gestation in which this syndrome manifests are 20 weeks onward of gestation, however in the literature there are cases during the puerperium whether immediate or late. This syndrome as such represents one of the most frequent causes of maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality, and early diagnosis is still a utopia for specialists due to its presentation and because the signs and symptoms are not specific, and delaying a stubborn treatment. according to tejera and Cruz Monteagudo social class and education affect the incidence of preeclampsia and eclampsia. Despite the fact that in Ecuador health care is free during the pregnancy, there is a lack of education about the risk during and after the pregnancy, so the percentage of complications does not decrease as expected with the measures that the government has taken.
