Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
"HUS" stands for hemolytic uremic syndrome, an uncommon disorder in which the small blood vessels are damaged, which affects the red blood cells and kidney function. It is seen with some frequency in childhood.
Common manifestations: It may involve paleness from the destruction of red blood cells, a decrease in the amount of urine, swelling, and marked fatigue, sometimes following a previous digestive illness.
Why pay attention? Because it affects both the blood and the kidneys, timely recognition is important in order to closely monitor its course.
Who treats it? The nephrologist studies the kidney involvement in adults, and the pediatric nephrologist cares for children, who are the most affected. In the case of paleness, decreased urine, or swelling after an intestinal illness, the recommended course is to seek a prompt assessment.
