Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare thrombotic complication characterized by a triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. HUS may be caused by several different conditions, including infection, malignancy, and chemotherapeutic agents, such as mitomycin, cisplatin, and most recently, gemcitabine. The outcome of gemcitabine-induced HUS is poor, and the disease has a high mortality rate. This study reports a case of gemcitabine-induced HUS in a patient with pancreatic cancer in Korea.
溶血尿毒综合征(HUS)是一种罕见的血栓性并发症,其特征为微血管性溶血性贫血、血小板减少症和急性肾衰竭三联征。HUS 可能由多种不同的情况引起,包括感染、恶性肿瘤和化疗药物,如丝裂霉素、顺铂,以及最近的吉西他滨。吉西他滨引起的 HUS 预后较差,且该病死亡率较高。本研究报告了韩国 1 例胰腺癌患者吉西他滨诱导的 HUS 病例。
