HELLP Syndrome
I'm watching a lady on OB that has true HELLP syndrome right now. Peripheral smear shows schistocytes. AST/ALT/Alk Phos are all significantly elevated. Platelets were at 28,000. They have improved to over 50,000, so, she will deliver soon (38.2 G3P2). It was a good learning experience. The next one should be an experience, too...a lady that failed methadone treatment and says she just took 1500 mg of morphine in the last day! This poor baby is going to come out sick.
