		Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a severe, life-threatening complication of an E.
		Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome was first described in 1955, and is now recognized as the most common cause of kidney failure in childhood.
		The essence of the syndrome is described by its three central features: destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), destruction of platelets (those blood cells responsible for clotting, resulting in low platelet counts, or thrombocytopenia), and acute renal failure.

	Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS) & Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) - nephrologychannel
		Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are microangiopathic disorders — that is, they are characterized by abnormalities (chiefly blood clots) that occur within the small blood vessels of the body.
		Such clotting is associated with hemolytic anemia (low red blood cell count due to cell rupture) and low numbers of platelets (cell-like bodies responsible for blood coagulation).
		Hemolytic anemia results from the fragmentation of the red blood cells when they pass through areas of thrombi (masses or clots) or turbulence in the circulation.

	Hemolytic-uremic syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, hemolytic-uremic syndrome (or haemolytic-uraemic syndrome, abbreviated HUS) is a disease characterised by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, acute renal failure and a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).
		About one-third of persons with hemolytic-uremic syndrome have abnormal kidney function many years later, and a few require long-term dialysis.
		Another 8% of persons with hemolytic uremic syndrome have other lifelong complications, such as high blood pressure, seizures, blindness, paralysis, and the effects of having part of their bowel removed.

		Early diagnosis of diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome may be expedited by the introduction of new techniques to rapidly detect toxin and microorganism in stool samples.
		Optimal therapy of diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome includes intensive management of the renal failure and serious extrarenal complications that may occur during the course of disease.
		Hemolytic uremic syndrome did not develop in any of the 15 patients treated with oral fluoroquinolone therapy; however, HUS did develop in three of 15 patients treated with intravenous (i.v.) fosfomycin and in two of 12 patients treated with i.v.

	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.
		The body's inability to rid itself of excess fluid and waste may in turn cause hypertension or swelling of the hands and feet or may cause generalized fluid accumulation (edema).

	Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome MEDSTUDENTS PEDIATRICS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		The syndrome may also follow the use of some drugs, malignancy, pregnancy, glomerulopathies, or it may be idiopathic.
		Peritoneal dialysis not only controls the manifestations of the uremic state, but also promotes recovery by removing an inhibitor of fibrinolysis (plasminogen activates inhibitor-1), thus allowing endogenous fibrinolytic mechanisms to dissolve vascular thrombi, which is believed to improve prognosis.

		Hemolytic (HEE-mo-LIT-ik) uremic (yoo-REE-mik) syndrome, or HUS, is one of the most common causes of sudden, short-term kidney failure in children.
		In severe cases, this acute kidney failure may require several sessions of dialysis to take over the kidneys' job of filtering wastes from the blood, but most children recover without permanent damage to their health.
