Pronóstico

  • El diagnóstico y el tratamiento temprano tienen un resultado favorable: mortalidad: < 5%
  • Sin embargo, la mayoría recupera completamente la función renal:
    • El 30% queda con algún grado de insuficiencia renal.
    • El 5% queda dependiente de la diálisis.

Diagnóstico Diferencial

  • Coagulación intravascular diseminada (CID): asociada a niños con enfermedades graves, como el shock Shock Shock is a life-threatening condition associated with impaired circulation that results in tissue hypoxia. The different types of shock are based on the underlying cause: distributive (↑ cardiac output (CO), ↓ systemic vascular resistance (SVR)), cardiogenic (↓ CO, ↑ SVR), hypovolemic (↓ CO, ↑ SVR), obstructive (↓ CO), and mixed. Types of Shock séptico. A diferencia del síndrome urémico hemolítico, la CID se presenta con estudios de coagulación anormales, incluyendo un tiempo de protrombina (TP) y un tiempo de tromboplastina parcial ( TTP TTP Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening condition due to either a congenital or an acquired deficiency of adamts-13, a metalloproteinase that cleaves multimers of von Willebrand factor (vWF).

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura) prolongados, una disminución del fibrinógeno y un aumento del dímero D.
  • Púrpura trombocitopénica trombótica (PTT): se produce debido a la inhibición o deficiencia de ADAMTS13, que provoca una disminución de la degradación de los LOS Neisseria multímeros del factor von Willebrand, y un aumento de la agregación plaquetaria y la trombosis. Los LOS Neisseria análisis de laboratorio muestran esquistocitos, aumento del lactato deshidrogenasa ( LDH LDH Osteosarcoma) y parámetros de coagulación normales.
