Adult hemolytic uremic syndrome
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), described in 1955, is characterized by the triad of non-immune mediated hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. Shiga toxin, produced most frequently by E coli O157:H, is involved in its pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at higher risk of severe COVID‐19 and may exhibit suboptimal vaccine responses. This study evaluates the factors influencing vaccine‐induced immunity in HD patients following the second dose of the Vaxzevria. A total of 276 HD patients and 126 controls were included. Antibody responses were assessed using binding
