This entity is clinically defined as the triad composed of microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure (ARF). HUS is the most common cause of ARF and the second leading cause of chronic renal failure (CRF) in infants.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">HUS is divided into two classes, depending on whether the patient previously suffered from diarrhoea (D+) or not (D-).<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> The most common class of HUS in children is D+, which is caused by a shigatoxin (STX) produced by one of a group of enterobacteria, primarily enterohaemorrhagic <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Escherichia coli </span><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">O157:H7</span> (EHEC).<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">HUS associated with STX is prevalent throughout the world in regions of high incidence of EHEC gastroenteritis, such as Argentina, Canada, United States, and Western Europe.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In HUS produced by EHEC, more than 95% of children recover from the acute disease, thanks to modern methods of managing electrolyte and water balance, arterial hypertension, and ARF. Mortality is primarily derived from intercurrent infections and neurological, gastrointestinal, or cardiac complications.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Cohort studies of patients who survive for at least 3 years of follow-up have shown that 65% of these individuals recover renal function and normal blood pressure levels, 15% continue to exhibit proteinuria with or without hypertension, and 20% end up with CRF.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The long-term renal prognosis in these cases is determined by the severity of acute renal damage and by the initial destruction of nephronal mass. Several studies have demonstrated that in hospitalised patients during the acute phase of the disease, the presence, intensity, and duration of anuria, hypertension, and the need for dialysis are all associated with an increased risk of residual renal damage and CRF.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Given that pre-renal ARF due to dehydration is the most common cause of oliguria and anuria in small children, representing 70% of non-hospital cases of ARF,<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span> several authors have shown that volume expansion in hospitalised paediatric patients with HUS has a nephro-protective effect.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">However, there is lack of studies in the medical literature that examine which factors that are present prior to hospitalisation contribute to an increased risk of incomplete recovery of long-term renal function in paediatric patients with HUS D+.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10,11</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The goal of our study was to identify the risk factors present prior to hospitalisation that are associated with incomplete recovery of renal function in children with HUS.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">METHOD</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We designed a retrospective study of cases (patients with HUS D+ who did not completely recover renal function) and controls (patients with HUS D+ who did eventually recover complete renal function). For retrospective data collection, we reviewed all consecutive clinical histories for patients hospitalised between 01/01/2000 and 31/12/2011.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We included patients of both sexes, aged 15 years or less, and who were diagnosed with HUS D+ (microangiopathic anaemia with schistocytes, thrombocytopenia, some degree of ARF, and an abdominal ultrasound revealing symmetrically enlarged kidneys)<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span>; we excluded all patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, malignant hypertension, vasculitis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, sepsis, or renal vein thrombosis.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We formulated an <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">ad hoc</span> datasheet with the following variables: age, sex, weight, height, hydration state (defining patients as normally hydrated or dehydrated if any of the following symptoms were present: dry mucosa, lack of tears, decreased skin turgor, slow capillary refill, or weight loss >5%), previous administration of antibiotics to treat diarrhoea, the duration of diarrhoea, bloody stools, vomiting, fever, dialysis requirements, and incomplete recovery of renal function defined as the presence of proteinuria, arterial hypertension, reduced creatinine clearance, or CRF during the follow-up period.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Discrete variables were described as percentages with a 95% confidence interval (CI), and continuous variables were described as mean ± standard deviation. We compared samples using Fischer’s χ<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> tests and Student’s t-tests. We performed a bivariate risk analysis using odds ratios (OR) with a 95% CI. We also performed a multivariate analysis using a Cox multiple regression equation. We interpreted <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span>-values <.05 to be significant.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our study received the approval of the hospital ethics committee, and was self-financed.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">RESULTS</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We reviewed the clinical histories for all patients admitted with a probable diagnosis of HUS D+ to the paediatrics and neonatology department at the Cordoba Private Hospital (Argentina) between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2011. We excluded 9 patients due to a final diagnosis that was not HUS D+, 3 who were transferred to other institutions during peritoneal dialysis, and 2 due to incomplete data registries.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The final sample size was 36 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of HUS D+: 23 boys (65.3%; 95% CI: 45.8-80.9) and 13 girls (36.1%; 95% CI: 19-53.2), with a mean age of 29.1±16 months and a range of 9.2 months to 7.3 years of age.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">For our analysis, patients were divided into two groups: a case group, composed of 13 patients (36.1%; 95% CI: 19.0-53.1) with HUS D+, who did not completely recover renal function during the follow-up period, and a control group, composed of 23 patients (63.9%; 95% CI: 46.8-80.9) with HUS D+, who did completely recover renal function during the follow-up period. The mean duration of follow-up was 7.3±1.7 years for the case group, and 7.6±1.3 years for the control group (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span>=.3140). In the case group, 12 out of 13 patients required dialysis (92.3%; 95% CI: 63.9-99.8), whereas only 9 out of 23 patients required dialysis in the control group (39.1%; 95% CI: 17.1-61.2) (OR: 2.3; 95% CI: 0.7-7.0; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span>=.2052).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The baseline demographic and anthropometric characteristics (weight, height, sex, and age) were similar between the two groups (Table 1).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The comparison using the bivariate model, which included the following clinical variables assessed prior to hospitalisation: duration of diarrhoea, bloody diarrhoea, fever, vomiting, dehydration, and use of antibiotics, revealed that only dehydration was significantly correlated with a lack of complete recovery of renal function during the follow-up period (Table 2).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As regards the multivariate test that we carried out using the same potential risk factors from prior to hospitalisation, dehydration was the only factor that was a marginally significant predictor at the time of hospitalisation (Table 3).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">DISCUSSION</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To our knowledge, this is the first study to report dehydration prior to hospitalisation as a risk factor for incomplete recovery of renal function during the follow-up period in children with HUS D+.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Several previous studies have linked acute renal failure to the severity of renal damage, the level of destruction of the nephronal mass, the presence and duration of anuria, and severe hypertension as signs associated with renal damage and the need for dialysis among hospitalised patients.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7,10,11</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Only two studies have examined risk factors for ARF and the need for dialysis prior to hospitalisation, one prospective<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span> and one retrospective,<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span> but neither of these studied the effect of dehydration on long-term renal function in patients on and off dialysis with HUS D+.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As indicated by Spizzirri et al.,<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> long-term prognosis is worse among patients with more than one day of anuria and those requiring dialysis. In this study, 37.3% of patients with these characteristics developed some level of renal involvement during the follow-up period, a value very similar to the rate we observed in the follow-up of our own study sample, although the risk factors evaluated were different.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The primary strength of this study was to consider factors present prior to hospitalisation that could plausibly produce long-term renal damage (due to hypovolemia from dehydration), based on the observation of the protection afforded to the kidneys by volume expansion in hospitalised patients.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our results differed from those by Carter et al., who long ago demonstrated the relationship between prior administration of antibiotics and later development of HUS.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span> In our study sample, the results did not show a similar trend; however, in accordance with our results, this hypothesis has been questioned by other authors as well, who did not observe an increased risk of HUS or incomplete recovery of long-term renal function, especially in patients who received fosfomycin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole to treat the enteric diarrhoea produced by EHEC.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14,15</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We also observed the tendency that patients with an incomplete recovery of renal function were primarily male, and had an older age than control patients, although these differences did not reach statistical significance; the predominance of this condition in males has been mentioned in other studies.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Patients with an incomplete recovery of renal function during the long-term follow-up period in our study had a more severe degree of acute deterioration in renal function, and in concordance with the results from the study by Balestracci et al., required dialysis at a greater frequency than control patients, although we did not observe statistically significant differences in this context.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The primary limitation of our study was the small sample size, which may have led to the lack of statistical significance for several of the factors analysed both in the bivariate and multivariate analyses (type II error or ß), as well as the retrospective nature of the data collection, which may have produced a bias in regards to the information obtained.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Without a doubt, the most relevant finding of our study (the importance of dehydration at the moment of hospitalisation) must be confirmed through larger, prospective studies. Unfortunately, the prospective study by Wong et al. did not take into account this aspect, although they do mention unstoppable vomiting as a significant risk factor,<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span> this being a known precursor of dehydration.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">CONCLUSIONS</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our results suggest that dehydration prior to hospitalisation is a factor that could increase the risk of incomplete recovery of renal function during long-term follow-up in paediatric patients with HUS D+. As such, hydration state should be closely monitored in children at risk of developing HUS D+, and in the case that dehydration should be detected, it must be treated in a timely and effective manner using volume expansion methods in order to prevent hypovolemia, renal damage, and the risk of incomplete recovery of renal function.
