Hello doctor! I have anemia and low blood pressure, my skin is very yellow, I often have headaches in the neck and neck and muscle pain in my legs. Can your doctor advise you on a diet plan to help improve low blood pressure and anemia? I was advised to eat a lot of red meat like beef and pork, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to digest. Should I eat more sweet potatoes? Because purple, white and yellow sweet potatoes all contain a lot of carotene, I am afraid that when I eat it, I will have more jaundice. Thank you doctor!

HELLP syndrome is an obstetric disease characterized by the following symptoms: hemolytic anemia, increased liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia. It appears in the second half of pregnancy. The incidence rate is 2% - 12%, the maternal mortality rate is 35%. Due to the risk of death for both mother and fetus, HELLP syndrome is truly an emergency that requires emergency diagnosis and treatment in obstetrics and intensive care units. In Vietnam, there are no exact figures on the incidence of HELLP syndrome.

The coombs test is one of the tests used to determine the cause of hemolytic anemia. The direct coombs test looks for antibodies attached to red blood cells. Antibodies can be produced by the body, caused by disease, or from a blood transfusion.
