摘要：
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) has been described following the administration of multiple antineoplastic agents, most notably mitomycin C. More recently, several cases of gemcitabine-induced HUS have been observed with the overall incidence of gemcitabine-induced HUS estimated at 0.015–0.25%. We here report on four patients who developed HUS following gemcitabine therapy at our institution within the last year (incidence 1.4%). All these patients had advanced-stage disease, were heavily pretreated, and received prolonged gemcitabine application, suggesting that in this subgroup of patients HUS may be more frequently encountered than documented so far.
