Diagnosis of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
Your doctor or primary care physician will likely perform a physical examination and suggest lab tests to confirm the diagnosis of HUS. (6) These examinations may involve:
Complete blood count (CBC)
Normal components of a complete blood count include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) can have an effect on these cells. A complete blood count (CBC) test for hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) evaluates the CBC of a blood sample from an individual.
Complete blood count (CBC) analysis is the best method for diagnosing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This will allow physicians to determine whether or not your kidneys have failed, whether or not HUS is present, and the severity of this condition.
