Summary

The Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), affecting both children and adults. HUS is characterized by the abnormal occurrence of diffuse thrombosis in the microcirculation resulting in the occurrence of ischemic events affecting especially the kidneys and is associated with hemolytic anemia. One of the major problems encountered in the management of HUS is the absence of reliable marker of treatment response or relapse; conventional hematological markers being too insensitive to judge therapeutic efficacy or identify early relapse. Data from the literature suggest that the endothelial cell is a major target of this syndrome. Our hypothesis is that an initial micro-endothelial activation plays a critical role in the initiation and / or relapse of the disease.The main objective of this study is to define a "vascular competence" profile in a population of patients with typical or atypical HUS; both in the acute phase and in remission of the disease.
