용혈성 뇨독 증후군 3예

The hemolytic uremic syndrome is characterized by the classic triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. Although the illness is uncommon disease, it is a cause of acute oliguric renal failure in children with increasing fre- quency. Recently, we have experienced 3 cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome occurring in bodys in 2, 8 and 14months of age. Diagnosis was established by typical clinical and labo- ratory findings, and in 2 cases, percutaneous renal biop- sy were done. They were completely recovered by supportive care, aspirin and dipyridamole or fresh frozen plasma infu- sion therapy.
