Effect of HELLP syndrome on acute kidney injury in pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review and metaanalysis Qiang Liu* , Guan-jun Ling, Shao-quan Zhang, Wen-qing Zhai and Yi-juan Chen

Abstract Background: HELLP syndrome may increase adverse pregnancy outcomes, though the incidence of it is not high. At present, the impact of HELLP syndrome on P-AKI (acute kidney injury during pregnancy) and maternal and infant outcomes is controversial. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to find out more about the relationship between HELLP syndrome and P-AKI and pregnancy outcomes. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embassy and Cochrane Databases for cohort studies and RCT to assess the effect of HELLP syndrome on P-AKI and maternal and infant outcomes. Study-specific risk estimates were combined by using fixed-effect or random-effect models. Results: This meta-analysis included 11 cohort studies with a total of 6333 Participants, including 355 cases of pregnant women with HELLP syndrome and 5979 cases that without. HELLP syndrome was associated with relatively higher risk of P-AKI (OR4.87 95% CI 3.31 ~ 7.17, P 40 IU/L), and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT > 40 IU/L) and low platelet (Plt) count as class III (Plt:100–150 × 10 3 /mL), class II (Plt:50–99 × 10 3 /mL), and class I (Plt < 50 × 10 3 /mL) Abbreviations: CC indicates case–control, RC retrospective cohort, PC prospective cohort, CV cardiovascular AKI Acute kidney injury, a Expressed as total number of patients (number in HELLP group/number in control group)
