Hello!
Well, the overall scenario that you have stated, clearly shows that you have a renal failure but i cannot comment upon the stage of it (as no details of urea and creatinin is given). HELLP has contributed to your condition and also your high blood pressure history. i suggest you to get a proper review with a nep0hrologist.
thanks
