Tonshoff B., Sammet A., Sanden I., Mehls O., Waldherr R., Scharer K., Outcome and prognostic determinants in the hemolytic uremic syndrome of children. “The rate of recovery correlated with the degree of oligoanuria…. The proportion of patients who recovered was lower in the presence of severe hypertension during the acute phase….” 2\. De Jong M., Monnens L. Haemolytic-uremic syndrome: A 10 year follow-up study of 73 patients. “All six patients belonging to the third group (oliguria for more than 14 days or anuria for more than 7 days) had late sequelae: two started dialysis more than 10 years after the initial phase; three had decreased GFR and concentrating capacity.” 3\. Gagnadoux MF., Habib R. Long-term prognosis of childhood HUS. “after follow up of 15 to 20 years, about 25% of patients affected with typical HUS in their childhood present with some degree of renal impairment. 10% being in advanced renal failure.” 4\. Kelles A., VanDyck M., Proesman W. Childhood HUS: long-term outcome and prognostic features. “severe hypertension, anuria lasting more than 7 days and central nervous system involvment have all been said to be associated with poor outcome that means early death and end-stage renal failure.” 5\. Tonshoff B., Sammet A., et al. Outcome and prognostic determinats in the HUS of Children. “The degree of CNS involvement was a strong predictor of \[bad\] outcome…. The most important difference in the rate of recovery of our patients was the degree of oligoanuria.” 6\. Siegler R., Pavia A., et al. At 20 year population based study of post-diarrheal HUS in Utah. “severe disease was significantly associated with… prodromal anuria and white blood cell count greater than 20,000….” 7\. Gianantonio CA., Vitacco M., et al. The hemolytic uremic syndrome. “One peculiar feature of the HUS is the striking association of severe renal damage and erthrocyte destruction with notable neurologic abnormalities…. Anuria of more than 4 days duration is also a sign of poor prognosis.” 8\. Rowe PC. Epidemiology of HUS in Canadian children from 1986 to 1988. “all patients with oliguria exceeding 15 days or anuria persisting for more than 8 days were left with chronic disease…. None of our patients with oliguria that lasted more than approximately 2 weeks or anuria that persisted more than approximately 1 week escaped chronic disease.” 9\. Sprizzirri, Francisco D, Rahman, Ricardo C., Bibiloni, Norma, Ruscasso, Javier D., Amoreo, Oscar R. Childhood hemolytic uremic syndrome in Argentina: long-term follow-up and prognostic features. “the severity of acute renal failure — as determined by the days of anuria — and the presence of proteinuria one year after the acute phase, were the most useful prognostic indicators \[of bad outcome\].” 10\. Caletti, Maria G., Gallo, Guillermo, and Gianantonio, Carlos. Development of focal segmental sclerosis and hyalinosis in hemolytic uremic syndrome. “These observations also confirm that prolonged oligoanuria during the acute stage of HUS frequently results in an unfavorable long-term prognosis…. The severe form was defined as anuria more than 7 days…. Proteinuria appeared after a proteinuria-free interval… 11\. Schlieper, A., et al. Sequelae of haemolytic uraemic syndrome. “HUS patients had numerically lower cognitive and achievement scores and higher behavioural problems ratings than their controls on every measure…. The results of this investigation provides preliminary indications of a post-HUS deficit in verbal intelligence and in the verbally based skills of reading comprehension and vocabulary use, as well as behaviour.” 12\. Orme, S., Clark, E., Siegler, R.L., Neuropsychological sequele of post-diarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome encephalopathy. “HUS subjects consistently scored lower than controls on verbal intelligence, reading comprehension and vocabulary and behavior…. the data suggests that children who suffer from encephalopathy during HUS may have persistent cognitive problems…. The present data show a pattern of relative weakness in problem solving, visual-spatial reasoning, motor speed, memory, mathematical reasoning and spelling.” 13\. Robson, Wm. Lane M. M.D., F.R.C.P., Leung, Alexander K.C. M.D., F.R.C.P. Kaplan, Bernard, S. M.B., B.Ch. Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome. “The following factors are reported to be associated with a poor prognosis in D+ HUS: Elevated WBC count, Prolonged anuria, Severe prodromal illness, Severe hemorrahagic colitis. The longer the duration of anuria, the less the recovery in GFR that can be expected.” 14\. Thomson, Peter D. HUS in Johannesburg, South Africa: Epidemiology and Long-term Follow-up. “We recommend that all severely affected cases of HUS should be followed for up to 20 years.” 15\. Lopez, Eduardo L., Gianantonio, Carlos A., Cleary, Thomas G. The Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Argentina. “A poor prognosis has been associated with oliguria of more than 3 weeks duration and/or anuria of more that 4 days duration.” ### Other E. coli Lawsuits
