title: [Kidney morphology in hemolytic-uremic syndrome].
abstract: Morphology of the kidneys in hemolytic-uremic syndrome is considered basing on autopsy findings obtained for 3 infants with 5-17-day history of acute renal failure. A newborn infant of 17 days developed the disease after feto-fetal hemotransfusion when macerated fetus-donor hemolysis products entered the circulation of the fetus-recipient through monochorionic placenta. The second case in an infant of 6 months was due to ADTP Vaccine. The last infant aged 16 months manifested the syndrome in the presence of Proteus-induced ulcerative colitis. Varying in etiology, renal morphology exhibited similar features: fibrin deposits in the lumens of glomerular capillary loops, afferent glomerular arterioles and intrarenal arteries; fibrinoid necrosis of the wall in the arterioles. The renal affection ranged from acute thrombotic glomerulonephritis to cortical necrosis, these variations being dependent on the degree of thrombogenesis, caliber of impaired intrarenal vessels and time from the onset of acute renal failure.
