Question
Hello, what should be done about hemolytic uremic syndrome? I would like some expert guidance.
Answer
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a complex clinical condition that includes microvascular hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. It primarily occurs in children, especially those with a history of diarrhea. Hemolytic uremic syndrome is usually associated with bacterial infections following diarrhea. In some cases, HUS without diarrhea may be caused by infections, medications, bone marrow transplantation, tumors, or other factors. In some cases, the cause of hemolytic uremic syndrome is unknown and may be related to genetics. It is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
