Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) Diagnosis
Your doctor or family physician will likely perform a physical exam and recommend lab tests to confirm the diagnosis of HUS. (6) These tests may include:
CBC (complete blood count)
A normal complete blood count test includes components like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These cells can be affected if you have hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). A complete blood count test for hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) tests the complete blood count of a blood sample from a person.
Having your complete blood count (CBC) done is the best way of diagnosing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This will allow doctors to know if your kidneys have failed, if HUS is present, and the severity of that condition.
