Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) • One of the main causes of AKI in children under 3 years of age and an important cause of chronic renal failure and shock during youth • Classical triad: • Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia • Thrombocytopenia • Acute kidney injury Niaudet, Patrick (2009). Clinical Manifestation and diagnosis of Shiga-like toxin associated (typical) Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in children. Uptodate 17.1 desktop
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) • 90% of cases are preceded by a prodrome of bloody diarrhea • toxin-mediated endothelial cell damage, resulting in thrombotic microangiopathy and intraluminal thrombosis of small vessels, with subsequent tissue ischemia and necrosis Niaudet, Patrick (2009). Clinical Manifestation and diagnosis of Shiga-like toxin associated (typical) Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in children. Uptodate 17.1 desktop
Types of HUS • Shiga-like toxin associated HUS (90%) • Aka typical, classical, or diarrhea-associated HUS • Escherichia coli and type 1 Shigelladysenteriae • EnterohemorrhagicE. coli (EHEC) produces a toxin called verotoxinand accounts for 70% of post-diarrheal HUS • 80% of EHEC are caused by E. coli O157:H7 • Shigelladysenteriae type 1: more severe HUS Niaudet, Patrick (2009). Clinical Manifestation and diagnosis of Shiga-like toxin associated (typical) Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in children. Uptodate 17.1 desktop
Types of HUS • Non-shiga-like toxin associated HUS (10%) • aka atypical, nondiarrhea-associated HUS • absence of diarrhea or Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infection • Most commonly due to Strep pneumoniae • Prodromal features of URTI, fever or vomiting Niaudet, Patrick (2009). Clinical Manifestation and diagnosis of Shiga-like toxin associated (typical) Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in children. Uptodate 17.1 desktop
Clinical Manifestation • Prodromal illness with abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea immediately precedes HUS • Prodromal diarrhea was present in 91% • Diarrhea was bloody in 57% of cases • Vomiting occurs in 30 to 60% of cases • Fever occurs in 30%. • HUS begins 5-10 days after the onset of diarrhea. There is sudden onset of: • Anemia (microangiopathic hemolytic anemia) • Thrombocytopenia • Acute Renal injury
Clinical Manifestation • Early symptoms: • Blood in the stools • Irritability • Fever • Lethargy and Weakness • Vomiting and diarrhea • Later symptoms • Bruising/Skin rash that looks like fine red spots (petechiae) • Jaundice • Decreased consciousness • Oliguria/Anuria • Pallor • Seizures

Pathogenesis • The primary event in pathogenesis of the syndrome appears to be endothelial cell injury. • Capillary and arteriolar endothelial injury in the kidneys leads to localized clotting. • The microangiopathic anemia results from mechanical damage to the red blood cells as they pass to the altered vasculature. • Thrombocytopenia is due to intrarenal platelet adhesion or damage.
Summary of the Pathophysiology Ingestion of EHEC containing shiga toxin Attaches to endothelial lining Damage Inflammation Circulatory system Cytokines TNF a IL-8 RBC Platelet WBC Apoptosis Hemolytic anemia Hemolysis Platelet aggregation Consumptive thrombocytopenia Pallor Microthrombi Petechiae Highly colored urine Deposited in various organs particularly Kidney
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia • endothelial cell injury leading to intravascular coagulation, fibrin deposition, and platelet adherence to microthrombi within the vascular lumen Altered blood flow results in red blood cell destruction. • Low hemoglobin • Negative coomb’s test • Peripheral blood smear • schistocytes (up to 10 percent of red cells) Tzipori S, Sheoran A, Akiyoshi D, Donohue-Rolfe A, and Trachtman H. Antibody Therapy in the Management of Shiga Toxin-Induced Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. Clinical Micro Reviews, 2004 V17 No4, p. 926–941
Thrombocytopenia • platelet count below 140,000/mm3 and usually about 40,000/mm3. • Despite this, there is usually no purpura or active bleeding Niaudet, Patrick (2009).

Acute Kidney Injury • clinical syndrome in which a sudden deterioration in renal function results in the inability of the kidneys to maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis • Present in 55-70% of HUS • renal function recoversin most of them (up to 70% in various series)

Complications of AKI • Hyponatremia • Most common cause is accumulation of fluid in excess of solute • Hyperkalemia • Result of the inability to excrete quantitatively the potassium derived from the diet, as well as that released from catabolism, necrotic tissue, and hemolyzed erythrocytes • Hypocalcemia &Hyperphosphatemia • Almost constant early finding in ARF • Due to phosphate retention, coupled with release of phosphate from tissue breakdown, contribute to the depression of the serum calcium concentration Kliegman: Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 18th ed.
Complications of AKI • Metabolic Acidosis • May occur via 3 basic mechanisms: • Loss of bicarbonate from the body • Impaired ability to excrete acid by the kidney • Addition of acid to the body (exogenous or endogenous) • Hypertension • May result from hyperreninemia associated with the primary disease process and/or expansion of the extracellular fluid volume and is most common in ARF patients with acute glomerulonephritis or HUS Kliegman: Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 18th ed.
Complications of AKI • Uremia • Accumulation of nitrogenous wastes w/c are normally excreted in the urine • Occurs in GFR <30% • Early symptoms: anorexia,vomitingand lethargy • Late symptoms: decreased mental acuity and coma
Other Systems involved • Central nervous system (20%): seizures, coma, stroke, hemiparesis, and cortical blindness. Severe CNS involvement is associated with increased mortality. • Gastrointestinal tract: Any area from the esophagus to the perianal area can be involved. The more serious manifestations include severe hemorrhagic colitis, bowel necrosis and perforation, rectal prolapse, peritonitis, and intussusception. • Cardiac dysfunction: Cardiac dysfunction can be due to cardiac ischemia detected by elevated levels of troponin I, uremia, and fluid overload.
Other Systems involved • Pancreas: transient diabetes mellitus may occur, and rarely permanent diabetes mellitus, which may develop years later. • Liver: Hepatomegaly and/or increased serum transaminases are frequent findings. • Hematology: In addition to anemia and thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis is common in diarrhea-induced HUS; the prognosis is worse with increased white blood cell counts
Diagnosis • Based on presenting signs and symptoms. • The classic diagnostic criteria: • microangiopathic hemolytic anemia • thrombocytopenia • acute renal failure • Followed by an episode of bloody diarrhea • Physical Examination may show: • Hepatomegaly/ Splenomegaly • Neurologic changes
Diagnosis • Laboratory tests: • Blood clotting tests (PT and PTT) • BUN and creatinine • Complete blood count • Platelet count • Urinalysis • Urine protein • Other tests: • Kidney biopsy • Stool culture McMillan R.

What labs can we request for our patient • CBC with platelet count • Peripheral smear • Urinalysis • Serum electrolytes • Creatinine • Stool culture
