Abstract

Haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a severe disease with microangiopathic anemia, thrombocytopenia and leading cause of acute renal failure in children. Several etiological factors causing to HUS have been identified, like infections, genetic mutations, drugs, systemic dis­eases. In this review, we present the new classification of the disease, detailed information about pathogenesis, diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches.

Hemolitik üremik sendrom

Abstract

Hemolitik üremik sendrom (HÜS) mikroanjiyopatik anemi, trombositopeni ve çocuklarda en sık akut böbrek yetmez­liği nedenlerinden biri olan ciddi bir hastalıktır. Enfeksiyon­lar, genetik mutasyonlar, ilaçlar, sistemik hastalıklar gibi HÜS\'e sebep olan birçok mekanizma tanımlanmıştır. Bu derlemede, hastalığın yeni sınıflandırılmasını, patogene­zi, tanı yöntemlerini ve tedavi yaklaşımlarını sunacağız.

Keywords

Hemolitik üremik sendrom, çocuk, yeni yaklaşımlar.
