Abstract

Gestosis, toxicosis, and preeclampsia are synonyms for a multifactorial manifestation during pregnancy, which may present different degrees of severity and occur in early pregnancy (e.g. hyperemesis gravidarum) or during the last months of pregnancy, or even short time before delivery (late gestosis). A life-threatening pregnancy complication is the HELLP syndrome. It is considered usually to be a variant or complication of pre-eclampsia. Both conditions occur normally during the later stages of pregnancy, or sometimes after childbirth. "HELLP" is an abbreviation of the three main features of the syndrome: Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelet count.
