Hemolytic uremic syndrome

Heomlytic uremic syndrome (HUS): a syndrome characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. It is mainly found in infants and young children. Only dozens of cases are reported in China, and it is more common in school-age children. This disease is one of the common causes of acute renal failure in children. It has had a small epidemic in Agenyan, North America, and South America. There is no special therapy for this disease, and the mortality rate was as high as 77%. In recent years, due to the application of comprehensive therapy, especially early peritoneal dialysis, the mortality rate has dropped to 4.5%.
