Abstract
The relationship of the duration of anuria to the recovery in glomerul ar filtration rate (GFR) was studied in 71 children with diarrhea-asso ciated hemolytic uremic syndrome. A significant relationship was found , and regression analysis revealed that y = 114.61 - 5.68 x, where y i s predicted GFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) and x is the square root of the durat ion of anuria in days. The presence of hypertension or proteinuria on follow-up was significantly related to the duration of anuria (p = 0.0 05 and p = 0.002, respectively).
