*It is understood that Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome is the result of microvascular endothelial cell damage characterized by Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) in renal glomeruli, gastrointestinal tract, brain and pancreas in all of which the main lesion is the thickening of vessel wall (mainly in capillaries and arterioles), microthrombi in platelets and obstruction of vessel lumen( partial or complete). Loss of physiological resistance to thrombus formation, complement consumption, leukocyte adhesion to damaged endothelium, the abnormal release of Von Willibrand Factor (vWF) and fragmentation, and increased vascular shear stress lead to further amplification of microangiopathy. Typical/ Shiga-toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is usually caused by E.Coli and Serotype O157: H7 is most common while congenital predisposing conditions like complement factor abnormalities may play a role in recurrent and familial forms<ref name="pmid11532079" />.

Serotype O157: H7 is most commonly seen in the USA and Europe, although other serotypes less commonly associated include O26:H11, O103:H2, O121:H19, O145:NM and O111:NM.

Overview

It is understood that hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is the result of microvascular endothelial cell damage characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in renal glomeruli, gastrointestinal tract, brain and pancreas in all of which the main lesion is the thickening of vessel wall (mainly in capillaries and arterioles), microthrombi in platelets and obstruction of vessel lumen ( partial or complete). Loss of physiological resistance to thrombus formation, complement consumption, leukocyte adhesion to damaged endothelium, the abnormal release of von Willibrand Factor (vWF) and fragmentation, and increased vascular shear stress lead to further amplification of microangiopathy. Typical/ Shiga-toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is usually caused by E.Coli and serotype O157: H7 is most common while congenital predisposing conditions like complement factor abnormalities may play a role in recurrent and familial forms.


Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

Genetics

Mutations in the genes associated with atypical HUS can cause uncontrolled complement system activation which attacks endothelial cells leading to inflammation and thrombi formation and may lead to kidney injury and renal failure. Examples include:[12][13][14]

Other genetic conditions predisposing to atypical HUS include:

Associated Conditions

Conditions associated with HUS include:

Gross Pathology

On gross pathology, [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of HUS.

Microscopic Pathology

On microscopic histopathological analysis finding of HUS.
