A 15 year old primigravida (Obstetrics) is admitted in hospital with a tentative diagnosis
of HELLP syndrome. Which of the following laboratory finding is best associated with
HELLP syndrome?
- 1- Elevated blood glucose
- 2- Elevated platelet count
- 3- Elevated creatinine clearance
- 4- Elevated hepatic enzymes
- Answer 4 is correct for This NCLEX Question.
Rationale of Answers
The criteria for HELLP is
elevated liver enzymes,
hemolysis &
low platelet count. In answer 1, an elevated blood glucose level is not associated with
HELLP syndrome. Platelets are decreased, not elevated, in HELLP syndrome, as stated in answer 2
. The creatinine levels are elevated in renal disease and are not associated with
HELLP syndrome, so answer 3 is not correct.
