BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of plasma exchange therapy in patients with various forms of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome.
During a three-year period, 13 patients with HELLP syndrome were treated with one or two sessions of plasma exchange after delivery. Diagnosis of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome was made according to Sibai's criteria, and the severity of illness was categorized according to platelet counts. Among patients, nine were in class-1 and the remaining four were in class-2. Patients with very high levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (>2000 U/L) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (>3000 U/L) were defined as fulminant type (2 cases).
Rapid improvement in platelet counts was observed after treatment with plasma exchange. All patients survived except the two fulminant hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome cases.
In our study, plasma exchange therapy was effective in patients with severe hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome, but fulminant cases did not appear to respond to this therapy.
背景/目的:本研究旨在探讨血浆置换疗法对各种形式溶血、肝酶升高及血小板减少(HELLP)综合征患者的疗效。
在三年期间,13例HELLP综合征患者在分娩后接受了一至两次血浆置换治疗。根据西拜标准诊断溶血、肝酶升高及血小板减少综合征,并根据血小板计数对疾病严重程度进行分类。患者中,9例为1级,其余4例为2级。天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)水平极高(>2000 U/L)和乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)水平极高(>3000 U/L)的患者被定义为暴发型(2例)。
血浆置换治疗后观察到血小板计数迅速改善。除两例暴发型溶血、肝酶升高及血小板减少综合征患者外,所有患者均存活。
在我们的研究中,血浆置换疗法对严重溶血、肝酶升高及血小板减少综合征患者有效,但暴发型病例似乎对该疗法无反应。
