Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is commonly triggered by creation strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) that produce powerful exotoxins, the shiga-like toxins and manifest with diarrhea often bloody.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare complication of a severe gastrointestinal infection. The bacteria can be acquired by eating contaminated food such as meat, poultry or potatoes, drinking contaminated juice, water or diary products, or touching infected people or contaminated surfaces.
It is the highest in early childhood but may appear in all age groups; the syndrome is the major cause of renal failure in children in US.
Toxins from bacteria get into the blood stream and damage red blood cells and platelets. The damaged red blood cells and platelets can the clog the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys.
Hemolytic Uraemic Syndrome is the constellation of acute renal failure, thrombocytopenia, intravascular hemolytic anemia with schistocytosis, and elevated serum LDL.
The syndrome is rare, but one that can arose in clusters in different parts of the country. There are two quite separate ways in which this syndrome can arise, one of which is inherited and the other rising as the result of an infection with a specific bacteria, Escherichia coli 0157.
