Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare but potentially serious condition, often due to infection and less commonly to genetic predisposition or other underlying conditions. Prompt recognition of HUS’s varied etiologies and manifestations is essential for timely diagnosis and intervention, optimizing patient outcomes. This activity describes the evaluation of hemolytic uremic syndrome and how to differentiate HUS from other forms of thrombotic microangiopathies. The differing etiologies of HUS, varying clinical presentations, and cellular pathways are reviewed. The roles of the interprofessional healthcare team and regulatory bodies in implementing best practices for treating and preventing this disease to improve patient outcomes are presented.
