Dexamethasone Efficacy in HELLP I Syndrome
June 4, 2010 updated by: Universidad del Valle, Colombia
Dexamethasone Efficacy in HELLP I Syndrome, a Multicentric, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Clinical Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of dexamethasone for treatment of HELLP I (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count) syndrome.

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Treatment of HELLP syndrome usually is restricted to measures of support and treatment of complications.
In 2005, in a subgroup analysis we showed that, among patients with HELLP 1, there were a shorter average time to platelet recovery and less duration of hospitalization in women who received dexamethasone therapy, however the importance of this finding is diminished because this was an unplanned analysis and the severity of the disease was not taken into account at randomization.
