medical acronym ? HUF? - OldHandAtThis

Posted: Feb 20, 2011

Of course, this is a discharge diagnosis, so I can't just type "HUF" and leave it be. I can't for the life of me figure out what this might be, and I can't find it anywhere. The patient has hematuria with pancytopenia and renal failure. This MD is not an ESL and speaks quite clearly. He is clearly saying "HUF"!!! (Actually he is saying HUF/TTP.)

Appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

I think he is saying HUS. HUS/TTP, the TTP gave it away for me.
"hemolytic-uremic syndrome/ thrombocytopenic purpura"

Hope this helps. I need a nice, four hour a day, after midnight home transcription job. I am retired after 43 years but I miss it and can only work so much per week or it messes up my Soc. Sec. For whom do you work?

Thanks much - OldHand

I feel a little foolish, but it's late, I'm half asleep just trying to get through this eternal work day! Probably better not to say on line where I work, although it is a nice company and I have no complaints. Lucky you, I am beginning to wonder if I will ever be able to retire!

Thanks much - Doxielover

I sent you an email. By the way, I worked third shift for 43 years so now I sit out here all night and just surf. I never could get into sleeping nights, even when I wasn't working.
