PREGNANCY-RELATED THROMBOTIC MICROANGIOPATHIES: CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS, MANAGEMENT AND MATERNAL OUTCOMES IN A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY IN AN OBSTETRIC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Abstract
Background: Pregnancy related thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) are rare but life threatening obstetric complications characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and organ dysfunction. They include HELLP syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP).
Objective: To describe the epidemiological characteristics, clinical presentation, biological abnormalities, therapeutic management and maternal outcomes of pregnancy-related thrombotic microangiopathies admitted to an obstetric intensive care unit.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study including 103 patients admitted to the obstetric intensive care unit of Lalla Meryem Hospital, Ibn Rochd University Hospital Center, Casablanca, Morocco, between January 2023 and July 2025.
