Abstract

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare condition compromising the clinical triad of acute renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. HUS may be associated with a variety of etiologies, and chemotherapeutic agents have also been reported to be associated with HUS, including mitomycin, cisplatin, bleomycin, and most recently gemcitabine. HUS also has been observed in association with a number of disseminated malignancies in adults, most typically adenocarcinoma of the stomach and breast. But there was no case report of HUS after cisplatin based transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We experienced a case of HUS after cisplatin based TACE and reported this case with several literature reviews.
