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.
