Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a disorder in which the destruction of red blood cells, a decrease in platelets and involvement of kidney function are combined, and it appears with some frequency in childhood.
How it can present: It is usually associated with paleness, a decrease in the amount of urine, tiredness and, at times, a history of digestive alterations.
Why it requires attention: Because it involves the blood and the kidneys at the same time, it needs a careful and timely evaluation.
Specialists who take part: The nephrologist and the pediatric nephrologist evaluate kidney function, the hematologist studies the blood alterations and the gastroenterologist contributes when there are digestive symptoms. In the face of signs like these in a child, seeking the opinion of these professionals is the most appropriate path.
