용혈 요독 증후군환아에서의 Plasmapheresis 효과
송지호 , 조병수
Abstract
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is the main cause of acute renal failure in early childhood. Its patho- physiology remains poorly understood and the mecha- nism by which plasmapheresis results in clinical improvement is not clearlyestablished, although recent reports indicate that it may be based on prostacyclin replacement. Exchange plasmapheresis using an intermittent-flow cell processor with a disposable 125 ml pediatric centrifuge bowl is applied in a 6 years old girl with HUS. We observed improvement of clinical and lab- latory finding, now doing follow-up. We report the case with brief review of some related literatures.
