Hemolytic uremic syndrome: Hemolytic (HEE-mo-LIT-ik) uremic (yoo-REE-mik) syndrome is a rare condition affecting mostly children under the age of 10. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by destruction of red blood cells, damage to the lining of blood vessel walls, and, in severe cases, kidney failure. Most cases of HUS occur after an infection in the digestive system caused by the Escherichia coli bacterium found on contaminated food like meat, dairy products, and juice. The first stages of HUS frequently present with gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. This stage lasts from 1 to 15 days. Recovery from this acute colitic phase is the rule. However, more severe problems in the bowel and colon may develop in some cases. (The most vulnerable and severely stricken of children with HUS can die during the first acute stage of the diseasebetween 5 percent and 10 percent.)

Supportive treatments Fluids Salts Blood transfusions High blood pressure treatments Dialysis Treatments of Hemolytic uremic syndrome discussion: Once HUS develops, there is no known treatment that can stop the progress of the syndrome. Unfortunately, it must run its course. Most treatments are supportive in nature and aimed at easing the immediate symptoms and signs of this disease and at preventing further complications. Supportive therapy consists of maintaining specific levels of fluids and salts, which are replaced only as needed. Blood transfusions (packed red blood cells) are sometimes needed. Treatment of high blood pressure is often necessary. Dialysis is also needed at times to help the kidneys perform their function. Other complications, such as neurologic complications, necessitate additional medications.

Urology - Genitourinary and Kidney Disorders : Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome E-mail this page Print this page Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome What is hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)? HUS is a rare condition that can lead to kidney failure in children. Kidney failure develops as a result of destruction of the small, functional structures and vessels inside the kidney. HUS is a serious illness and potentially fatal. What causes hemolytic uremic syndrome? HUS is more common during the summer months and may occur in outbreaks. Outbreaks have been reported in daycare centers, water parks, and fast food restaurants as a result of inadequately cooked hamburger meat. HUS is most common in younger children between 6 months and 4 years, but can occur at any age. HUS has several known causes and some unknown causes. Typically in children, HUS develops after an infection with the E. coli bacterium. E. coli may be found in contaminated food such as dairy products and meat. HUS can also develop as a result of taking certain medications, or may result from a cancer present in the body, although these causes are less common. In less than 5 percent of HUS cases, the disorder is inherited by a dominant gene (a gene passed from parent to child with a 50/50 risk) or recessive gene (each parent carries one copy of the gene and the child inherits both copies; the chance is 25 percent with each pregnancy).

The information is presented in both common terminology and also in medical terminology This page is dedicated to all of the children who are battling this disease. So little is known about the disease, and we hope to raise awareness and funds in order to find better treatments. Atypical HUS Atypical HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome) is not caused by an external agent (such as a bacteria, virus etc). Instead, some sort of internal chain of events sets the HUS off, and the syndrome becomes active. The syndrome is not well understood. It may be a genetic weakness due to a missing or deficient protein or enzyme. It may be a variety of other unknown causes. In either case, Atypical HUS patients have many of the the same symptons as Typical HUS Patients.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a condition in which there is clumping of platelets within the kidney's small blood vessels resulting in educed blood flow to the kidney leading to kidney failure. The partial blockage of the blood vessels also leads to destruction of red cells (hemolysis) - the effects on red cells are similar to throwing a tomato through chicken wire. Platelets are also decreased which contributes to bleeding problems. What are the causes of hemolytic uremic syndrome? There are many causes for this syndrome and E. coli bacteria (particularly serotype E. coli 0157:H7) is one of them. Others include shigella bacteria, drugs, tumors, pregnancy, and systemic lupus erythematosus. HUS associated with E. coli bacteria has been in the news due to several deaths associated with undercooked beef and tainted unpasteurized apple juice. These cases typically begin with severe abdominal cramps and diarrhea which may become bloody by the second or third day. Nausea and vomiting is present in approximately half of the patients. Most patients recover in 7-10 days, but some (6%) go on to have HUS. This is most likely to happen in children and the elderly. Some patients develop neurological problems such as seizures. Many patients require

Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) What is Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome? Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome is an illness in which the red blood cells become damaged or destroyed causing anemia (low number of red blood cells), and the kidney becomes damaged causing it to fail to function properly. Blood clotting problems also may occur. Who gets Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome? Most cases of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome follow a gastrointestinal illness characterized by bloody diarrhea. The most common microorganisms associated with post-diarrheal Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome are Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Shigella. The syndrome may also follow the use of some drugs, or follow pregnancy or cancer. How is Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome spread? Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome is not spread from person to person nor is it spread through contaminated food. However, the organisms which are associated with post-diarrheal Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome may be spread from person to person through an infected individual who has poor personal hygiene or through food which has become contaminated with one of the associated organisms. However, most individuals who become infected with one of those organisms will not develop post-diarrheal Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. It is not known why a few individuals who become infected with one of these organisms develop post-diarrheal Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. What are the symptoms of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome?

Disease Index NJ InTouch Surveillance Case Definition Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) CLINICAL DESCRIPTION HUS is an acute illness characterized by the sudden onset of thrombocytopenia and hemolysis with fragmented red blood cells, and acute anuric renal failure. Only HUS or thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) that follows an acute diarrheal illness should be reported. For HUS caused by infection with a Shiga toxin-producing organism, the syndrome will usually manifest itself 3 to 10 days after the onset of a diarrheal illness, often including bloody diarrhea. Diarrhea may have resolved and the patient may appear to be improving when the onset of HUS occurs. (For the incubation periods of the specific bacteria, refer to the chapters on E. coli O157:H7 and Shigella Approximately 2 - 7% of cases of EHEC, such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, develop HUS. TTP is another potential consequence of infection with a Shiga toxin-producing organism. TTP is similar to HUS with more prominent neurologic signs. HUS is most commonly seen in children, whereas TTP is more commonly seen in adults. HUS is children can be fatal. Most cases of HUS, but few cases of TTP, follow an acute gastrointestinal illness (usually diarrhea). Some investigators consider HUS and TTP to be part of a continuum of disease. Therefore, criteria for diagnosing TTP on the basis of CNS involvement and fever are not provided; however, patients diagnosed clinically with post-diarrheal TTP should meet be reported as HUS.

Recovery from this acute colitic phase is the rule. However, more severe problems in the bowel and colon may develop in some cases. (The most vulnerable and severely stricken of children with HUS can die during the first acute stage of the diseasebetween 5 percent and 10 percent.) For most children with HUS, the vomiting and diarrhea stop after 2 or 3 days. Even when the gastroenteritis has stopped, the child does not recover full health, remaining pale, tired, and irritable. The bacteria originally lodged in the digestive system make toxins that enter the bloodstream, and these toxins destroy red blood cells. Small, unexplained bruises or small clot-sized hemorrhages visible in the mucosal lining of the mouth may occur because the toxins also destroy the platelets, cells that normally contribute to the clotting system.
