Successful Outcome in a Rare Condition in Pregnancy - Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura-Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura-Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (TTP-HUS) is a rare occurrence in pregnancy. It is similar in its clinical profile to other more common pregnancy related conditions like preeclampsia, eclampsia, and Hemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, Low Platelets (HELLP) syndrome. This makes diagnosis a challenge thus hampering maternal and fetal outcome if the disease is not diagnosed in time and managed appropriately in the early course of the disease. Here, we report a case of successful management of this rare and potentially hazardous disorder during pregnancy in due course of time and thereby achieving a healthy mother and a healthy baby.
