A case of hemolytic uremic syndrome improved with nitric oxide
Bone Marrow Transplantation
|February 2, 2000
Abstract:
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) after transplantation is difficult to treat, and there is no consensus regarding optimal mode of treatment. We attached transdermal isosorbide tape as a nitric oxide (NO) donor to patients with HUS after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). This was very effective in ameliorating the hemolysis and increasing platelet numbers. We report here the successful use of an isosorbide in a patient with HUS after transplantation.
