About Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is not a procedure but a serious medical condition requiring comprehensive management by a nephrologist. It is characterized by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (destruction of red blood cells), thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), and acute kidney injury. The nephrologist's role involves a multi-faceted approach to diagnose, treat, and monitor this life-threatening disorder. This includes aggressive supportive care, managing fluid and electrolyte imbalances, controlling blood pressure, and in severe cases, initiating advanced therapies like plasma exchange (plasmapheresis) or dialysis to support kidney function while the underlying cause, often a bacterial infection like E. coli, is treated. The goal is to halt the disease process, prevent permanent organ damage, and support recovery.

Key Highlights

Multidisciplinary management led by a kidney specialist (nephrologist).Focuses on halting the destruction of red blood cells and platelets.Aims to preserve kidney function and prevent long-term damage.Includes advanced life-support treatments like dialysis when necessary.Critical for managing a potentially life-threatening condition effectively.

As a complication of other infections, certain medications, or pregnancy (atypical HUS).
Presence of symptoms like bloody diarrhea, decreased urine output, fatigue, pallor, or unexplained bruising.
Laboratory confirmation of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia.

Severe hypertension (high blood pressure).
Neurological complications such as seizures, stroke, or coma.

Recovery & hospital stay

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.
