Overview
The incidence of HELLP is reported to be 0.2-0.6% of all pregnancies. Of women with preeclampsia, 4-12% also develop signs of a “superimposed” HELLP syndrome. HELLP usually begins during the third trimester, and usually in caucasian women over the age of 25. Rarely, cases have been reported as early as 23 weeks gestation.
