摘要
This study reports the pattern of renal injury in 24 North American children with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and the extent of extrarenal involvement in 9 of these children examined at autopsy. Fifteen of the 24 children were studied during the first 16 days of hospital-ization; their renal specimens demonstrated glomerular thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in 8 children, cortical necrosis in 1, and varying degrees of glomerular TMA and cortical necrosis in 6 children. Nine of the children were studied after 16 or more days of hospitalization; these patients had prominent renal arterial lesions. Of 9 children examined at autopsy, extrarenal microthrombi were identified in 8. In 4 children who died during the acute phase of the disease, hemorrhagic colonic necrosis (3 children) and pancreatic islet cell necrosis (2 children) were the principal extrarenal lesions encountered. Rare microthrombi were present in the brains of the 3 children who manifested seizures. © 1990 IPNA.
