We aimed to demonstrate the clinical patterns, laboratory findings, management, and outcomes of HUS in Egyptian children. This was a retrospective cohort study carried out in the Nephrology Unit of the Pediatric Department at Tanta University Hospitals. Hospital-based records of HUS cases between January 2009 and January 2019 were used to obtain the disease history, clinical manifestations, investigations, treatment, and outcomes. Sixty-eight children were included in the study: 63 (96.56%) with Shiga-toxin-producing\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    (STEC) HUS and five (7.53%) with atypical HUS. The boy-to-girl ratio was 1.19:1. The age at the onset of the disease ranged from 0.5 to 13 years, with a median of 2.25 years. The main presenting manifestations were pallor (80.88%), diarrhea (67.65%), oliguria (54.41%), and convulsions (19.21%). The survival rate was 85.29%, whereas the mortality rate was 14.71%. Thirty-seven patients (54.41%) recovered completely, 17 (25%) patients survived but with chronic kidney disease, and four patients (5.88%) progressed to end-stage renal disease and are currently maintained on dialysis. The risk factors for mortality were female gender, age &lt;5 years, anuria, and an affected central nervous system (CNS). STEC-HUS had a higher incidence than atypical HUS with better outcomes. Early dialysis improved the outcome in terms of mortality in young patients, females, and those with an affected CNS.\n
