[Kidney morphology in the hemolytic-uremic syndrome].

A case of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (Gasser syndrome) in a boy of 7 is described. The disease was accompanied by thrombocytopenia, anemia, hemorrhagic syndrome and acute renal insufficiency (ARI). Morphological lesions consisted in the predominant involvement of the kidneys presenting thrombosis of the glomerular capillaries and reglomerular arterioles, fine cortical necroses, and considerable degenerative changes in the tubular epithelium. The peculiar features of the disease included low intensity of hemolysis and the lack of the oligoanuric phase of ARI.
