Doctors are still unclear on what exactly causes HELLP syndrome. Although it is more common in women who have preeclampsia or pregnancy induced hypertension, there are still a number of women who get it without previously showing signs of preeclampsia.
The following is a list of factors that are believed to increase the risk of a woman developing HELLP syndrome:
Previous pregnancy with HELLP Syndrome (19-27% chance of recurrence in each pregnancy)
Preeclampsia or pregnancy induced hypertension
Women over the age of 25
Caucasian
Multiparous (given birth two or more times)
