Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura-Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome In Pregnancy: A Successful Outcome

Abstract

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic PurpuraHemolytic Uremic Syndrome (TTPHUS) occurs rarely in pregnancy. It is a diagnostic dilemma to the treating obstetrician with a clinical spectrum that often cannot be differentiated from pre eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. It has an unfavorable maternal and fetal outcome if it is unrecognized or sub optimally managed early during disease presentation. A successful outcome and management of TTP–HUS in pregnancy is discussed.
