About D Positive Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

D Positive Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (D+HUS) is a serious, acute medical condition managed by a nephrologist, characterized by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. It is most commonly triggered by infection with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), often from contaminated food. The nephrologist's role involves a comprehensive diagnostic workup, including blood tests, stool cultures, and kidney function assessments, followed by a multi-faceted treatment plan. This critical care focuses on supportive management, including fluid and electrolyte balance, blood pressure control, and, in severe cases, renal replacement therapy like dialysis to support kidney function while the body clears the infection and recovers.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sukanya was different. She actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. She explained it to me in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on her notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and finally had a path forward.
