Assessment of Pediatric Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Patients Hospitalized in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Aim: It is aimed to describe clinical properties and outcomes of pediatric hemolytic uremic syndrome hospitalized in pediatric intensive care. Material and Method: Our study was intended as observatory and retrospective. Symptoms before PICU admission, interventions before PICU admission, time period before PICU admission in days were defined as pre-PICU findings. Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) at admission, Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score (PRİSM-III), laboratory parameters, medical treatments, extracorporeal treatments data was collected as PICU interventions. Outcomes were examined as days in PICU, days in hospital and survival. Results: Twenty-three patients were included into study. Before PICU admission more than half of the patients were treated with antibiotics. Twenty-two were suffered from diarrhea. 3 patients had non-bloody diarrhea. 3 patients had central nervous system involvement presented as seizures. Intravenous diuretics (86.9%) and oral antihypertensives (73.9%) were the most common treatments in PICU. Eculizumab treatment was required for 6 patients. All patients got fresh frozen plasma. Nearly all of the patients required erythrocyte transfusions (95.6%). If we evaluated renal replacement therapies, 2 (8.6%) patients needed CRRT and 12 (52.7%) patients needed IHD. Extrarenal involvement was spotted in 5 patients (21.7%). Most of the patients were survived (95.3%). Conclusion: Hemolytic uremic syndrome is an important clinic entity. Most patients’ blood pressure could be controlled with oral antihypertensive treatments. Antibiotic prescriptions to diarrhetic patients should be more cautiously. There should be transfusion protocols of clinics about HUS patients to prevent over transfusion.
