S.T.O.P. Announces Medical Conference on Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) Focus is Long-term Health Implications for Survivors June 01, 2000 advertisement Source Laurie Girand S.T.O.P. Forums Health, Safety, Nutrition and Kids Related Articles E. Coli Infections Detection and Prevention Information (Chicago, IL.) S.T.O.P. - Safe Tables Our Priority today announced that it is hosting a one day medical conference of specific interest to survivors of E. coli O157:H7, their parents and physicians. Entitled "Long-term Health Implications of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: A Multi-Disciplinary Conference," the event will be held on Saturday, October 7, 2000 in Seattle, Washington. Internationally renown medical experts on HUS will be presenting the latest information about health challenges faced by individuals who survive the catastrophic phase of illness and hospitalization. In the United States, Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, also known as HUS, is the leading cause of acute kidney failure in children. Approximately 90% of children who develop Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome after an infection with E. coli O157:H7 survive but may face a lifetime of complications from the disease. "By the time victims of E. coli O157:H7 poisoning and their loved ones are ready to leave the hospital, they have been through an incredible traumatic and brutally painful experience," said President Nancy Donley. "Oftentimes, there are many lingering medical problems and scores of unanswered questions. This is the first conference of its kind, assembling international authorities on HUS who can provide answers and bring the latest available information to persons most needing it." Though many medical conferences are centered around a single medical specialty, HUS involves so many of the body's systems that physicians and researchers for this event come from many disciplines, including nutrition, hematology, endocrinology, cardiovascular surgery, gastroenterology, and neuropsychology.

Topics A-Z Reference Center Search AIDS-HIV ... Tuberculosis Disease Fact Sheet Series: Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) Printable Version What is Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome? Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a serious disease that affects the kidneys and blood clotting system. It is a rare disease but is more common in children, especially those less than five years of age, than in adults. What are the symptoms of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome? Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome may be mild or severe. In severe cases, kidney function is greatly reduced and dialysis (purification of an individual’s blood with an artificial kidney) may be necessary to temporarily take over the function of the kidneys. Abnormalities of the blood clotting system can create a bleeding tendency, and the blood count may be low (anemia). Transfusions of blood or blood clotting factors (platelets) are often needed in severe cases. Most individuals with HUS recover completely and kidney function returns to normal. However, a prolonged hospital stay is often required. What causes HUS?

Synonyms aHUS Inherited Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is an extremely rare group of disorders of the kidneys. It is a distinctly different illness from hemolytic uremic syndrome caused by the bacterium E.coli 0157:h7 (Stx HUS). While Stx HUS typically is preceded by a flu-like illness and is associated with that particular strain of E. coli bacterium, there is substantial evidence that aHUS is a genetic disorder. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome may become a chronic condition, and patients with aHUS may experience repeated attacks of the disorder. When children with Stx HUS recover from the life-threatening initial episode, they are likely to respond well to supportive treatment and to make a good recovery. Children with aHUS are much more likely to develop chronic serious complications such as kidney failure and severe high blood pressure.

RESOURCE LIBRARY Hemolytic uremic syndrome Co-Existing Disorders Hematologic Disorders Hemolytic uremic syndrome Author: JP Sepkuty and PW Kaplan Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is primarily a disorder of infants and young children and rarely occurs in adults. HUS may occur in women in the postpartum period or in women taking oral contraceptives. Cancer patients receiving mitomycin or cisplatin chemotherapy may also develop HUS. There is evidence to suggest a genetic susceptibility to the development of thrombotic microangiopathies in siblings. Prominent features of HUS include: acute renal failure, with a need for frequent hemodialysis severe hypertension gastrointestinal signs and symptoms Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia is present in HUS, as in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) , but the thrombocytopenia is milder in HUS and neurologic abnormalities are not frequent. Sheth and colleagues have shown that the most common neurologic manifestations are seizures, mainly generalized tonic-clonic convulsions, but occasionally focal ones.

Subscribe now >> 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 E. 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.) 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.

The hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is the main cause of acute renal insufficiency at child age in The Netherlands and is nearly always caused by a verocytotoxin (VT) producing Escherichia coli. The acute mortality is 5% and the prognosis of the renal damage on the long term has been investigated still insufficiently. It has been generally accepted that VT comes into the circulation through the damaged gut wall and then damages the vascular epithelium. This particularly occurs in the arterioles and capillaries of the kidney and to a less extent also in other organs like pancreas and brain. Animal experimental studies have demonstrated that the degree of endothelial damage is determined by the concentration of the receptor for VT (globotriao-sylceramide (Gb3)). With electron microscopy of the kidney biopsy in the acute phase, damaged endothelial cells are observed which have been set free from the basal membrane with clot formation on this endothelium.

PEDIATRICS Karina Luise Glaser Medstudents'Homepage Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome The hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is the most common cause of acute renal failure in infants and young children, and an important cause of cronic renal failure and shock during youth. It is estimated that 90% of cases are preceded by a prodrome of bloody diarrhea. The syndrome may also follow the use of some drugs, malignancy, pregnancy, glomerulopathies, or it may be idiopathic. Diagnosis The classic diagnostic criteria are microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure, following an acute episode of bloody diarrhea. There may be incomplete syndromes, when the diagnosis becomes unclear. The differential diagnosis include disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), bilateral renal vein thrombosis and lupus. In DIC, partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time are prolonged, and the patient may be septic. TTP is common in adults, specially young women, with central nervous system involvement, fever and cutaneous manifestations, and tends to occur as a relapsing illness. The enlargement of kidneys and angiography help distinguish bilateral renal vein thrombosis from the hemolytic uremic syndrome. Epidemiology The most common microorganisms associated to the post-diarrhea hemolytic uremic syndrome are Escherichia coli (0157:H7 strain) and type 1 Shigella dysenteriae . The enterohemorrhagic E. coli
