An examination was made of seventeen children having various stages of the hemolytic uremic syndrome: Stage 1 is the period of an expanded clinical picture of the disease, the patients' condition is grave (anuria, azotemia, severe hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia); Stage 2 is the period of recovery. The plasma levels of malonic dialdehyde, dienic conjugates, alpha-tocopherol at the first stage of the disease were considerably higher than the control ones, on recovery there were their reductions though their levels remained higher than the normal levels. The levels of malonic dialdehyde in the red blood cell membranes in ill children were also much higher than those in healthy donors, but at the second stage they decreased, but remained high. The activity of superoxide dismutase in the red blood cells of ill children in the acute period of the disease did not significantly differ from that of donors. At the second stage of the disease there was a significant fall in the activity of red blood cell superoxide dismutase. The activity of catalase in the red blood cells of ill children was thrice higher than in the controls; however, this index decreased during treatment and at the second stage it did not differ from that in the controls. There were no significant differences in the activity of red blood cell superoxide dismutase in donors and ill children. Mechanisms responsible for abnormal plasma and red blood cell peroxidation are considered in the hemolytic uremic syndrome. It is concluded that free radical reactions play a substantial role in the pathogenesis of this abnormality. |
