HELLP SYNDROME

Alternate names

HELLP SYNDROME Is also known as hemolysis-elevated liver enzymes-low platelets syndrome, toxemia of pregnancy, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets in pregnancy, preg1, pee

Description

Preeclampsia, which along with chronic hypertension and gestational hypertension comprise the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, is characterized by new hypertension (blood pressure 140/90 or greater) presenting after 20 weeks' gestation with clinically relevant proteinuria. Preeclampsia is 1 of the top 4 causes of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide (summary by Payne et al., 2011).Preeclampsia is otherwise known as gestational proteinuric hypertension (Davey and MacGillivray, 1988). A high proportion of patients with preeclampsia have glomerular endotheliosis, the unique histopathologic feature of the condition (Fisher et al., 1981). A distinct form of severe preeclampsia is characterized by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP syndrome) (Brown et al., 2000). Genetic Heterogeneity of Preeclampsia/EclampsiaSusceptibility loci for preeclampsia/eclampsia include PEE1 on chromosome 2p13, PEE2 (OMIM ) on chromosome 2p25, and PEE3 (OMIM ) on chromosome 9p13. PEE4 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the STOX1 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 10q22. PEE5 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the CORIN gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 4p12. An association with PEE has been found with the EPHX1 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 1q.

Most common symptoms of HELLP SYNDROME

  • Seizures
  • Hypertension
  • Intrauterine growth retardation
  • Edema
  • Renal insufficiency

FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLANEMIA

Alternate names

FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLANEMIA Is also known as hereditary hypercholanemia

Description

Familial hypercholanemia is a very rare genetic disorder characterized clinically by elevated serum bile acid concentrations, itching, and fat malabsorption reported in patients of Old Order Amish descent.

Most common symptoms of FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLANEMIA

  • Failure to thrive
  • Abnormality of the liver
  • Pruritus
  • Malabsorption
