Efter en googling på HELLP + B12 hittade jag en länk till abstractet av en vetenskaplig artikel som i övrigt är skriven på franska (och som jag alltså inte kan läsa i sin helhet). Men abstractet är intressant. Läs själva:
[Symptoms of HELLP syndrome due to vitamin B12 deficiency: report of seven cases].

Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
HELLP syndrome is characterized by generalised thrombotic microangiopathy predominant in the liver. Many investigators consider HELLP syndrome to be a variant of severe preeclampsia. Several other conditions have similar laboratory findings in common with HELLP syndrome and should be eliminated before pregnancy termination.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
The authors report seven observations of patients with biological criteria that mimic HELLP syndrome secondary to severe vitamin B12 deficiency.
CONCLUSION:
Vitamin B12 or B9 deficiency developed during pregnancy have laboratory findings similar to those of HELLP syndrome.
