External links

This page was discovered on a random search as an example of a page that does not have External links as the last section, as is usual. Does anyone have any strong feelings about the order of end sections in this article or articles like this? - Dan Dank55 (talk) 19:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But it does have an ==External links== section (although it's not in the official order). WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that's what I meant: that it had one, but it wasn't last. - Dan Dank55 (talk) 07:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Factor H

doi:10.1182/blood-2007-08-106153 - even in atypical HUS (which is often familial), factor H is to blame for platelet deposition. JFW | T@lk 12:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prognosis

"About 9% may develop end stage renal disease. About one-third of persons with hemolytic-uremic syndrome have abnormal kidney function many years later, and a few require long-term dialysis." This seems inconsistent - is it saying "About one third of those diagnosed with hemolytic-uremic syndrome end up with some degree of Chronic Kidney Disease. Ultimately, 9% progress to stage 5 CKD with only a few progressing to stage 5 CKD proximate to the diagnosis."?

Treatment

I have some questions about the treatment section(s):

1. Why does the article have two? 2. Should we combine them? 3. Do we need the second? 4. Is the second one valid or useful? 5. Is there a better header for it than 'Treatment?'

As a first move, I've merged them into the same section. Beyond that, I'm not sure what all the correct answers are. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:39, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HUS

I had this when I was 13 months old. Had this dude: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7542404.stm in charge of my case. What a hero. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.96.224 (talk) 21:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are the symptoms?

There should be a separate causes and symptoms section. I went to find the symptoms and can only find the causes listed under the symptoms.97.75.133.131 (talk) 04:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
