in preeclampsia, and serum HSPA1A levels reflect systemic inflammation, oxidative stress and hepatocellular injury, but is significantly higher in patients with the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP syndrome) than in severely preeclamptic patients without HELLP syndrome
