Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare disorder characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. These characteristics are related to the formation of platelet-rich microthrombi in the microvasculature. HUS is associated with a variety of etiologies, including cisplatin. Previously reported HUS cases after cisplatin administration were almost always related to systemic combination chemotherapy that included cisplatin. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is commonly used in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, and most centers in Korea use cisplatin. A 70-year-old female with hepatocellular carcinoma was treated with TACE including cisplatin and subsequently developed clinical and laboratory findings compatible with HUS.
