HELLP syndrome

Hello :)

I am coming out of lurkerdom to ask this!

My area of interest is PICU nursing as I hope to work there once I have my RN.

I had HELLP with my last pregnancy and delivered at 29+6.

I tend to field a lot of questions about this and while I know a fair bit my clinical knowledge of it is not great.

How common is it?

What are the maternal/foetal mortality rates?

Is it recognised as a condition that can occur separately from PE (mine appeared without protien in urine etc).

And are there any indicators for this ie smoking, weight, age etc?

Thankyou so much
