A case of hemolytic uremic syndrome and whole splenic infarction secondary to acute pancreatitis

Pancreatitis preceding acute episodes of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome: report of five patients with a systematic review of published reports

“…[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Among these 16 patients, 13 were men, opposite to the gender disparity of TTP-HUS 25 but consistent with the greater frequency of acute pancreatitis among men. 43 The etiologies of the pancreatitis in these 16 patients were typical for acute pancreatitis among adults: 43,44 seven cases were related to chronic severe alcohol use, five to gallbladder disease, and four were idiopathic.…”
