Haemolytic uraemic syndrome with prolonged anuria and cortical calcification: a case report.
An 18-month-old infant presented with haemolytic uraemic syndrome following a prodrome of colitis. Incomplete recovery of renal function occurred after 4 weeks of anuria and was associated with extensive renal cortical calcification. During the recovery phase he had two relapses of colitis, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia without any deterioration in renal function.
