Purpose

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effect of SYNSORB Pk therapy on mortality and frequency of severe extrarenal complications observed in children with acute stage E. coli-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome. II. Determine the effect of SYNSORB Pk therapy on the need for the duration of dialysis in these patients.

III. Determine the effect of SYNSORB Pk therapy on the recovery of renal function and resolution of urinary abnormalities in these patients.
