TI  - A case of severe preeclampsia diagnosed as post-partum hemolytic uremic syndrome.

AB  - Post-partum hemolytic uremic syndrome (PHUS) is a severe thrombotic 
      microangiopathy clinically characterized by hemolytic anemia, renal dysfunction, 
      and low platelets after birth with rapid progression and poor prognosis. Here, we 
      reported a rare case of severe preeclampsia diagnosed as hemolytic uremic 
      syndrome after birth. The patient was diagnosed with PHUS and underwent 
      intermittent plasma exchange with supportive treatment including glucocorticoid 
      injections and transfusion of suspended red blood cells. After these treatments, 
      the patient experienced no apparent remission and chronic renal dysfunction 
      occurred on her. PHUS is a severe emergency with acute onset, rapid progress, and 
      poor prognosis. Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment can significantly 
      improve the prognosis.
