摘要
We describe the use of thrombelastography in HELLP syndrome (Haemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, Low Platelets). It differentiated between two possible causes of significant haemorrhage and revealed an accompanying underlying fibrinolysis. This allowed specific therapy to be directed at both abnormalities and, we believe, helped prevent this patient from undergoing radical surgery to curb blood loss.
