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.

In most cases, the onset of Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome is preceded by a flu-like illness (gastroenteritis) that is characterized by vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, and diarrhea, which, in some cases, may be bloody. In some rare cases, the onset of Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome may follow an upper respiratory tract infection. In most cases of Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome, initial symptoms usually become apparent three to 10 days after the development of gastroenteritis. Affected children may become increasingly irritable and have abnormally pale skin color (pallor), weakness, lack of energy (lethargy), and/or diminished excretion of urine (oliguria). In some severe cases, affected children may be unable to produce and pass urine (anuria). Many children also develop more severe symptoms associated with dysfunction of the kidneys and the cardiovascular and nervous (neurological) systems. In some cases, affected individuals may have an abnormally enlarged liver and/or spleen (hepatosplenomegaly).

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.

(GAPS) HOME DISORDERS GLOSSARY Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (as defined by the National Organization for Rare Disorders also known as: Gasser Syndrome HUS Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a very rare disorder that primarily affects young children between the ages of one to 10 years, particularly those under the age of four years. In many cases, the onset of HUS is preceded by a flu-like illness (gastroenteritis) characterized by vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, and diarrhea, which, in some cases, may be bloody. Symptoms of Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome usually become apparent three to 10 days after the development of gastroenteritis and may include sudden paleness (pallor), irritability, weakness, lack of energy (lethargy), and/or excretion of abnormally diminished amounts of urine (oliguria). The disease typically progresses to include inability of the kidneys to process waste products from the blood and excrete them into the urine (acute renal failure); a decrease in circulating red blood cells (microangiopathic hemolytic anemia); a decrease in circulating blood platelets, which assist in blood clotting functions (thrombocytopenia); and the abnormal accumulation of platelets within certain blood vessels (microthrombi), reducing the blood flow to several organs (e.g., kidneys, pancreas, brain) potentially leading to multiple organ dysfunction or failure.
