Some preeclamptic patients have schistocytosis, abnormal liver function tests and thrombocytopenia. To determine how strongly these three abnormalities cluster with each other, a sequential series of 49 preeclamptic or eclamptic patients was analyzed for the presence of schistocytosis, serum aminotransferase elevation and thrombocytopenia. These three abnormalities were found less often together (the HELLP syndrome) than singly or in pairs. These data do not clearly separate HELLP patients from other preeclamptic patients.
