1 Introduction Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new-onset hypertension with proteinuria and other laboratory abnormalities after 20 weeks of pregnancy [1]. Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome affects 0.1%–0.6% of all pregnancies and 4%–12% of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia [1]. HELLP syndrome most commonly presents between 27 and 36 weeks of gestation; however, it can also occur in the early postpartum period [1].
