What Is a Nephrologist? ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonial Bibliography Overview 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. Both HUS and TTP are distinguished by blood clots within the capillaries and arterioles of many organs. 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. Such forces shear the cells in half, producing cell remnants that appear as helmets and other odd shapes when viewed under a microscope. In fact, the diagnosis of HUS-TTP is aided by microscopic examination of the blood for sheared red blood cells.

It occurs most often in infants, small children, and pregnant women, but can occur in older children, adults, and women who aren't pregnant. Irritability, restlessness

It is a systemic disease, involving a triad of symptoms: hemolytic (blood destroying) anemia low platelet count kidney failure It most frequently follows an episode of gastroenteritis caused by an toxin-producing strain of Escherichia coli (E.coli), type O157:H7. It has been less often associated with other infectious agents such as the bacteria Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, as well as some viral infections. The syndrome is most common in children younger than 4 years old. It is usually preceded by gastroenteritis with the usual fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. The diarrhea is often bloody, which in itself is always a worrisome sign. Less commonly the illness is preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection - a cold. About 5-10 days later the initial illness is followed by the sudden onset of paleness, irritability, weakness, lethargy, and decreased urination. Examination at that time may also show signs of dehydration, swelling (edema), petechiae,

Symptoms of hemolytic-uremic syndrome are similar to a bleeding disorder, and kidney damage is usually severe.

Volume 4, Number 21 May 26 Antibiotics increase risk of hemolytic-uremic syndrome In a study released early by the New England Journal of Medicine because of its potential therapeutic implications, UW researchers found that antibiotic treatment of children with E. coli O157:H7 infection increases the risk of hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Researchers at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center led by Craig S. Wong, senior fellow in pediatrics, and Phillip I. Tarr, professor of pediatrics, conducted a cohort study of 71 children under the age of 10 . Hemolytic-uremic syndrome developed in 5 of the 9 children given antibiotics, compared to 5 of the 62 children who were not given antibiotics. According to the study, factors significantly associated with hemolytic-uremic syndrome were a higher initial white-cell count, stool culture soon after the onset of diarrhea (perhaps indicating a more fulminant course of illness that prompted an early evaluation), and treatment with antibiotics. Hemolytic-uremic syndrome can sometimes occur after a gastrointestinal tract infection. It is marked by destruction of red blood cells, kidney failure and damage to the lining of blood vessel walls.
