Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by the triad
non-immune micro-angiopathic hemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia
and acute renal failure. The disease mainly affects children one to
ten years of age. It begins after an incubation period of 4 to 7
days with abrupt onset of bloody diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Two
to ten days later, microangiopathy, haemolytic anaemia,
thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure develop. HUS
microangiopathy can involve almost any organ, but damage to kidneys
and central nervous system cause the most severe clinical problems.
This book discusses the symptoms, the treatment options and
prognosis of HUS.
