Overview
Natural History
Complications
About one-third of persons with hemolytic-uremic syndrome have abnormal kidney function many years later, and a few require long-term dialysis. Another 8% of persons with hemolytic uremic syndrome have other lifelong complications, such as high blood pressure, seizures, blindness, paralysis, and the effects of having part of their colon removed.
Prognosis
With aggressive treatment > 90% survive acute phase. About 9% may develop end stage renal disease. The overall mortality rate from HUS is 5-15%. Older children and adults have a worse prognosis.[1]
