Abstract

Hemolytic uremic syndrome is an acute condition where microvascular thrombi occur in the vasculature of the renal system, resulting in thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and acute kidney injury. Hemolytic uremic syndrome may originate from either congenital or acquired causes. Hemolytic uremic syndrome is initially treated with supportive care measures; however, if fulminant renal failure ensues, dialysis may be necessary.

Keywords: atypical HUS; hematuria; nephrology.
