| Summary: | Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by anemia microangiopathy, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal
failure, predominantly occurs in children
younger than 4 years of age. It is the most common
cause of acute renal failure in children.1,2 HUS is divided
into two categories, the epidemic type which is
accompanied by enteritis (D+HUS) and the sporadic
type which is not accompanied by enteritis (D-HUS).
The pathogenesis is unknown, but available evidence
strongly suggests endothelial cell damage in the organs. |
