Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome What is hemolytic uremic syndrome? Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a condition that affects the blood and blood vessels. It results in the destruction of blood platelets (cells involved in clotting), a low red blood cell count (anemia), and kidney failure due to damage in the very small blood vessels of the kidneys. Other organs, such as the brain or heart, may also be affected by damage in very small blood vessels. Are there different types of HUS? Yes. A syndrome, such as HUS, is a combination of findings that may be due to many different reasons. HUS most commonly follows a severe bowel infection with certain toxic strains of the bacteria called E. coli. It may also occur in response to certain medicines, but this is rare. Only very rarely will it occur for an unknown reason. This fact sheet is primarily focused on the HUS that occurs in infants and children as a result of an E. coli infection. What are the symptoms of HUS? HUS in children generally occurs after an illness involving diarrhea (usually bloody). Most children fully recover from their bowel illness and do not develop HUS. However, a small percentage will become pale and have less energy, related to progression to HUS. They may also have decreasing urine output, but a loss of color in the skin is the most striking feature. How does HUS start?

HUS is a rare condition that can lead to kidney failure in children. Kidney failure develops as a result of destruction of the small, functional structures and vessels inside the kidney. HUS is a serious illness and potentially fatal. What causes hemolytic uremic syndrome? HUS is more common during the summer months and may occur in outbreaks. Outbreaks have been reported in daycare centers, water parks, and fast food restaurants as a result of inadequately cooked hamburger meat. HUS is most common in younger children between 6 months and 4 years, but can occur at any age. HUS has several known causes and some unknown causes. Typically in children, HUS develops after an infection with the E. coli bacterium. E. coli may be found in contaminated food such as dairy products and meat. HUS can also develop as a result of taking certain medications, or may result from a cancer present in the body, although these causes are less common. In less than 5 percent of HUS cases, the disorder is inherited by a dominant gene (a gene passed from parent to child with a 50/50 risk) or recessive gene (each parent carries one copy of the gene and the child inherits both copies; the chance is 25 percent with each pregnancy).

It occurs most frequently in young children after a prodromal period of bloody diarrhea. The principal cause of HUS is infection with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (particularly serotype O157:H7). The clinical features of HUS have been well described, but its pathophysiology is only partly elucidated and definitive treatment is not available. Approximately 73,000 cases of infection with O157:H7 are thought to occur each year in the United States. About 10 to 15 percent of infected children are at risk of developing HUS. It is thought that the Shiga toxins (Verotoxins) produced by E. coli

Simple Actions to Prevent Hamburger Disease What is HUS? Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a disease that affects the kidneys and other organs. It poses a substantial threat to Canadian children as one of the leading causes of both acute and chronic kidney failures. HUS is most common in the warmer months of the year, following a gastrointestinal illness caused primarily by a particular strain of bacteria known as Escherichia coli , nicknamed "Hamburger Disease" by the news media. While other types of E. coli are common in gastrointestinal tract of healthy humans, this particular strain (O157:H7) is not usually present except in diarrheal illnesses. These bacteria ( E. Coli O157:H7) produce extremely potent toxins which are the main cause of the symptoms related to the gastrointestinal illness. The most common symptoms of E. coli

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Hemolytic-uremic syndrome Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare condition that affects mostly children under the age of 10, but also may affect the elderly as well as persons with other illnesses. HUS, which most commonly develops after a severe bowel infection with certain toxic strains of a bacteria, is characterized by destruction of red blood cells, damage to the lining of blood vessel walls, and in severe cases, kidney failure. Description Most cases of HUS occur after an infection in the digestive system that has been caused by toxin-producing strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli . About 75% of HUS cases in the United States are caused by the strain referred to as E. coli O157:H7, which is found in the intestinal tract of cattle, while the remaining cases are caused by non-O157 strains. Some children infected with E. coli O157:H7 will develop HUS. HUS also can follow respiratory infection episodes in young children. In the United States, there are about 20,000 infections and 250 deaths annually that are caused by E. coli

Prevention Detection Recent Outbreaks Legal Case ... Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) What are the typical symptoms of E. coli O157: H7? After someone ingests a sufficient quantity of E. coli O157:H7, the bacteria travels through the stomach and small intestine, and then attaches itself to the inside surface of the large intestine and causes inflammation of the intestinal wall. This inflammatory reaction is caused by toxins secreted by the bacteria, and is believed to be the cause of hemorrhagic colitis.1,2 Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge What are the more severe symptoms and long-term risks of E. coli O157: H7? Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Although most people recover from an E. coli O157:H7 infection, about 5-10% of infected individuals go on to develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a severe life threatening complication. HUS was first described in 1955, and is now recognized as the most common cause of kidney failure in childhood. E. coli O157: H7 is responsible for over 90% of the cases of HUS that develop in North America. In fact, some researchers now believe that E. coli O157:H7 is the only cause of HUS in children. HUS is believed to develop when the E. coli O157:H7 enters into circulation through the inflamed bowel wall, releasing a specific chemical system known as shiga-like toxin (SLT). SLT, and probably other chemical mediators, attach to receptors on the inside surface of blood vessel cells (endothelial cells). Some organs appear more susceptible than others to the damage caused by these toxins, possibly due to the presence of increased numbers of toxin-receptors. These organs include the kidney, pancreas, and brain.
