Hemolytic uremic syndrome: current pathophysiology and management.

The combination of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal failure, referred to as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), is one of the main causes of acute renal failure in children. In most patients, infection with verotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC, serotype O157:H7) precedes the development of bloody diarrhea (D+) characteristic of enteropathic HUS cases. In a minority, however, neither the enteropathogenic bacteria nor bloody diarrhea (D-) are documented. Despite that the pathogenesis of the two varieties remains unclear, clinical differentiation between D+ and D- HUS is extremely important to the final outcome. A more severe course, which may result in end stage renal disease, is frequently observed in the D- group.

Drug poisoning patterns: the Albany experience, 1978 and 1988.

This study retrospectively compares the demography and patterns of poisonings and their local variations among patients admitted to Albany Medical Center Hospital in the years 1978 and 1988. An increase in the number of admissions during this period of time, and an apparent substantial change in the pattern of poisonings was observed; in addition, the gender difference observed in 1978 disappeared. Although street drugs were a common source of poisoning, the resulting morbidity and mortality was low. The use of extracorporeal drug removal procedures appears to have declined in this institution in the two years evaluated.

Renal lymphoma, angiographic findings in a child.

The authors describe the renal angiographic findings in an 8-year-old child with diffuse infiltration of the kidneys by malignant lymphoma. These findings included irregularity, encasement, occlusion of interlobar branches, and poor opacification of arcuate and interlobular arteries. Although the findings were not entirely specific, the diagnosis can be suggested in the appropriate clinical setting.
