Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
What is hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)?
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare condition that mostly affects children under the age of 10. It is often characterized by:
  • damage to the lining of blood vessel walls destruction of red blood cells kidney failure
What causes HUS?
Most cases of HUS occur after an infection in the digestive tract caused by the E. coli bacterium. E. coli may be found in contaminated food, such as dairy products and meat. How might HUS progress?
The first stage of HUS frequently lasts from 1 to 15 days and may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as:
  • abdominal pain bloody diarrhea vomiting
Severe problems in the bowel and colon may develop in some cases. In these cases, even if the gastroenteritis has stopped, a child may still exhibit the following symptoms:
  • irritability fatigue small, unexplained bruises or small clot-sized hemorrhages visible in the mucosal lining of the mouth paleness
The child may produce little urine because damaged red blood cells and other factors may clog the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys or cause lesions in the kidneys, making the kidneys work harder to remove wastes and extra fluid from the blood. The body's inability to rid itself of excess fluid and waste may, in turn, cause:

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. 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).

This site contains information for anyone interested in learning more about the disease called HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome)
We will show the differences between two types of HUS: Typical HUS and Atypical HUS. The information is presented in both common terminology and also in medical terminology
This page is dedicated to all of the children who are battling this disease. So little is known about the disease, and we hope to raise awareness and funds in order to find better treatments.
Atypical HUS
Atypical HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome) is not caused by an external agent (such as a bacteria, virus etc). Instead, some sort of internal chain of events sets the HUS off, and the syndrome becomes active.
The syndrome is not well understood. It may be a genetic weakness due to a missing or deficient protein or enzyme. It may be a variety of other unknown causes. In either case, Atypical HUS patients have many of the the same symptons as Typical HUS Patients.
However, there are quite a number of differences. While the Typical form of the disease may start off more severe, the Atypical form is subject to longer lingering effects, and is much more likely to become a chronic problem. Recurrance is much more common with the Atypical form of the disease.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure.1-3 There are at least two main subgroups that can be identified;4 a typical form of HUS which follows a diarrheal prodrome (D+HUS) and usually occurs in preschool children, and an atypical form which occurs at any age without diarrheal prodrome (D-HUS). Familial and recurrent HUS are occasionally observed.5 The D+HUS occurs in sporadic or epidemic outbreaks. Hemorrhagic colitis is the most common and widely recognized gastrointestinal manifestation of D+HUS. The most common infectious trigger in North America is

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
What is Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)?
HUS is a serious disease that affects the blood clotting system and the kidneys. In severe cases, the red blood cells are destroyed, resulting in anemia and kidney failure. About 2%-7% of infections by the bacteria E. coli 0157:H7 lead to HUS. In 2001, there were two cases reported in New York City residents. Who gets HUS?
It is a rare disease, and it affects children more commonly than adults. In the United States, HUS is the principal cause of acute kidney failure in children. Most cases occur in the warmer months between April and October. What causes HUS?
Most cases of HUS are caused by infection with the bacteria E. coli 0157:H7. E. coli 0157:H7 infections occur after eating contaminated food, such as undercooked meat, poultry, or dairy products; or through contact with a person who has infectious diarrhea. One in ten children who have E. coli 0157:H7 infection will go on to develop HUS. The bacterium releases a toxin that affects blood flow to the kidney and other vital organs including the brain, pancreas and liver, leading to impaired organ function. This can cause the sudden development of kidney failure, diabetes, hepatitis, and even heart failure. What are the symptoms of HUS?

ORIGINAL ARTICLE Octo ber 2002, Volume 7, Number 8:
Hemolytic uremic syndrome: Events of the past decade PN McLaine This article describes the birth of the Canadian Pediatric Kidney Disease Research Centre (CPKDRC) in 1985 and the activities that have transpired as a result of collaborative research at paediatric centres across Canada. These include the National Retrospective Study of Childhood Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), National Prospective Study of Risk Factors for Developing Escherichia coli O157:H7 Infection, and Intervention Studies for the Prevention of HUS. A look to the future describes possible studies to determine potential factors (surrogate markers) to identify children who are at risk for developing HUS following verotoxin-producing E coli gastroenteritis, other intervention studies and a more accurate understanding of permanent renal insufficiency in children who have had HUS.

(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.

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is believed to develop when E. coli O157:H7 enters into a person's circulation through the inflamed bowel wall, releasing a specific chemical system known as shiga-like toxin (SLT). SLT, and probably other chemical mediators, attach to receptors on the inside surface of blood vessel cells (endothelial cells). Some organs appear more susceptible than others to the damage caused by these toxins, possibly due to the presence of increased numbers of toxin-receptors. These organs include the kidney, pancreas, and brain. HUS is now recognized as the most common cause of kidney failure in childhood. E. coli O157: H7 is responsible for over 90% of the cases of HUS that develop in North America. In fact, some researchers now believe that E. coli O157:H7 is the only cause of HUS in children. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is generally recognized as “adult HUS.” There are many possible causes, including E. coli O157:H7, all of which act through the common mechanism of inducing damage in the endothelial cell wall. The damage triggers a cascade of biochemical events that ultimately leads to the characteristic feature of TTP - widespread damage to the heart, brain, kidneys, pancreas and adrenals. Other organs are involved to a lesser degree.

Titel Het hemolytisch uremisch syndroom op de kinderleeftijd Abstract * Characterization of the damage on vascular endothelium (particularly human glomerular endothelium) by verocytotoxin, particularly regarding the NO system and prostacyclin release
* Long-term prognosis of renal damage in hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) patients.
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.

Transplant clinicians must be alert to the presenting symptoms of this devastating complication so that early diagnosis may result in prompt treatment and better survival. Further studies are necessary to determine the mechanism of action for the development of HUS and its association with donor cocaine abuse, calcineurin inhibitors, CMV, humanized monoclonal antibodies, ganciclovir and HCV. Learning Objectives: Understand the presenting symptoms of HUS posttransplant. Provide information to aid in early diagnosis of HUS in order to improve outcomes.
