The Path physiology of Renal Failure in a Shiga Toxin plus Lipopolysaccharide Induced Murine Model of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Abstract: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is the primary cause of worldwide pediatric acute renal failure. The vast majority of HUS is due to gastrointestinal infection with Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC), bacteria that produce the ribosomal protein synthesis inhibitor Shiga toxin (Stx). During the diarrheal prodrome, virulence factors lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Stx cross into the systemic circulation and cause inflammation and apoptosis in many tissues.
