Abstract
Follow up studies will be presented of the renal function in 46 children with H.U.S. treated with streptokinase. Bloodpressure and renal function (urinary deposit, proteinuria, concentration test, hydrogen ion loading test and clearance of creatinine) were measured 6 - 9 months (46 pat.), 2 years (27 pat.) and 5 years (11 pat.) after the acute phase. Some data are also collected 4 - 6 weeks after the onset of the acute period. After 2 years 2 children had a clearance of creatinine < 80 ml/min/1.73 S.A., 3 children had a mild elevation of arterial bloodpressure.
