Home Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Programs that treat this condition or perform this procedure Kidney Transplant Program 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). What are the symptoms of hemolytic uremic syndrome?

PDF Version Search Send-to-Friend Health Library Home Hemolytic uremic syndrome Adapted from the National Institutes of Health by HealthGate Editorial Staff Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare condition affecting mostly children under the age of 10. 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 colibacterium 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.

Differential Diagnosis Renal Failure, Anemia and Thrombocytopenia DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: The differential diagnosis of oliguric renal failure, thrombocytopenia and thrombotic microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) (evidenced by the red blood cell fragments, increased LDH and decreased haptoglobin) in a post partum setting includes acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP), HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura / hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP/HUS), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and preeclampsia (table 1). Differentiating among these conditions is critical because they respond to different therapeutic modalities and the laboratory is often critical in making these distinctions. Table 1.

Thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, moderately abnormal liver function tests (LFT) and usually mildly abnormal renal function tests are characteristically present. Antepartum preeclampsia developes most commonly in nulliparous women and is characterized by proteinuria, edema and hypertension. Hemolysis is rare, and mild thrombocytopenia is present in 10-15% of cases. LFTs are minimally affected, and renal failure is rare. This patient did not have hypertension and LFTs were only transiently abnormal, making HELLP syndrome and preeclampsia less likely.

A comparison of New York's traditional communicable disease surveillance system for diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome with hospital discharge data showed a sensitivity of 65%. Escherichia coli O157:H7 was found in 63% of samples cultured from hemolytic uremic syndrome patients, and samples were more likely to be positive when collected early in illness. Diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a major cause of acute renal failure in children (1). Various studies have demonstrated that Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli are the etiologic agents in most cases of diarrhea-associated HUS (2,3). In the United States, E. coli O157:H7 is the most common Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, causing an estimated 73,480 infections (4); HUS develops in 3%-15% of patients soon after the onset of diarrhea (5,6).

We present an analysis of strain and patient factors associated with the development of bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) among Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) patients registered in Denmark in a 6-year period. Of 343 STEC patients, bloody diarrhea developed in 36.4% and HUS in 6.1%. In a multivariate logistic regression model, risk factors for bloody diarrhea were the eae and st[x.sub.2] genes, O groups O157 and O103, and increasing age. Risk factors for HUS were presence of the st[x.sub.2] (odds ratio [OR] 18.9) and eae (OR undefined) genes, being a child, and having bloody diarrhea. O group O157, although associated with HUS in a univariate analysis (OR 4.0), was not associated in the multivariate analysis (OR 1.1). This finding indicates that, rather than the O group, the combined presence of the eae and stx2 genes is an important predictor of HUS.

CASE REPORT JOP. J Pancreas (Online) 2005; 6(4):369-374. Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome Associated with Gemcitabine: A Case Report and Review of Literature Muhammad Wasif Saif, Philip J McGee Division of Hematology-Oncology, Department of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Birmingham, AL, USA ABSTRACT Context Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare condition compromising the clinical triad of acute renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Hemolytic uremic syndrome may be associated with a variety of etiologies, and chemotherapeutic agents have also been reported to be associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome, including mitomycin, cisplatin, bleomycin, and most recently gemcitabine. Case report A 72-year-old Caucasian male treated with four cycles of gemcitabine at 1,000 mg/m developed clinical and laboratory findings compatible with hemolytic uremic syndrome. He developed microangiopathic hemolysis, rapidly declining renal function with proteinuria and hematuria, and renal biopsy revealed thrombotic microangiopathy. Hemodialysis, plasmapheresis, and corticosteroid therapy were utilized but the process ultimately was irreversible. Conclusion With multiple reports of hemolytic uremic syndrome complicating gemcitabine therapy, it is imperative that clinicians heighten their awareness of this potentially lethal complication.

It is the most common cause of acute renal failure in infants and children and there are about 2-4 cases per 100,000 children in the United States, usually during the summer and early fall. HUS most commonly affects kids between the ages of six months and four years of age, who usually have the classic or epidemic form of HUS, which is preceded by diarrhea for 3-4 days. The diarrhea is usually watery and may be bloody and associated with vomiting and/or abdominal pain. The diarrhea can last up to 12 days and is most commonly caused by eating meat that is contaminated with the

It usually follows an infection that has caused diarrhea What is going on in the body? There are many causes for HUS. By far, the most common cause is an episode of diarrhea caused by infection with a special strain of the bacterium, E. coli. There have been a number of epidemics of HUS in recent years linked to eating undercooked beef containing this strain of bacterium. This bacterium produces a toxin that is very harmful to cells, particularly those of the kidneys, blood vessels, and intestinal lining. There are other less common causes of HUS in which the exact cause is not as clear. HUS is thought to develop when the lining of small blood vessels become damaged. This most commonly occurs in the blood vessels that supply blood to the kidney. The damage causes the blood vessels to swell. Tiny blood clots can form in affected blood vessels, narrowing the vessels or blocking them completely. Because blood cannot pass through these blocked or narrowed vessels, the kidneys are less able to filter waste products from the body and may become damaged. Certain cells in the blood, such as red blood cells that carry oxygen and platelets that help clot the blood, are damaged as they try to pass the narrowed vessels. This leads to

Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Centers for Disease Control and Prevention MMWR 44(29):1995 Jul 28 Community Outbreak of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Attributable to Escherichia coli O111:NMSouth Australia, 1995 Postdiarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, renal injury, and thrombocytopenia and is associated with infection with Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli (SLTEC). From January 4 through February 20, 1995, the South Australian Communicable Disease Control Unit of the Health Commission (SACDCU) received reports of 23 cases of HUS among children aged less than 16 years who resided in South Australia. In comparison, during 1994, a total of three cases of HUS was reported in South Australia (1991 population: 1.4 million). This report summarizes preliminary findings of the investigation of this outbreak by SACDCU, Women's and Children's Hospital, Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science, and the National Center for Epidemiology and Population Health of Australian National University. Three cases of HUS were reported to SACDCU during January 4-16. Subsequently, SACDCU requested that hospitals, commercial clinical laboratories, general practitioners, andwith the cooperation of the news mediathe public throughout South Australia report persons with bloody diarrhea, HUS, or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). The preliminary investigation suggested that HUS occurred as a complication of infection associated with consumption of uncooked, semi-dry fermented sausage product produced locally by a single manufacturer. On January 23, the South Australian Health Commission issued a press release noting the link to the sausage; the manufacturer subsequently initiated a recall (Figure 1) of products with a "use by" date of March 12, later extended to include products with dates during January 26 April 12.
