Successful outcome in a rare condition in pregnancy - thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome: A case report

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome (ttp-hus) is a rare occurrence in pregnancy. it is similar in its clinical profile to other more common pregnancy related conditions like preeclampsia,eclampsia,and hemolysis,elevated liver enzymes,low platelets (hellp) syndrome. this makes diagnosis a challenge thus hampering maternal and fetal outcome if the disease is not diagnosed in time and managed appropriately in the early course of the disease. here,we report a case of successful management of this rare and potentially hazardous disorder during pregnancy in due course of time and thereby achieving a healthy mother and a healthy baby. © journal of krishna institute of medical sciences university.
