    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) presents with diverse prodromal symptoms.
    • Gastrointestinal symptoms can lead to misdiagnosis as ulcerative colitis.

    Observation:

    • Colitis in HUS is often self-limited with minimal endoscopic or radiographic findings.
    • Rarely, severe colonic complications like toxic megacolon or perforation can occur.

    Findings:

    • Early hemodialysis significantly reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with severe renal impairment.
    • Prompt identification of HUS is essential to avoid delayed or incorrect management.

    Implications:

    • Physicians must consider HUS in young patients presenting with ulcerative colitis-like symptoms.
  • Awareness of HUS prevents misdiagnosis and ensures appropriate, timely intervention.
