    Abstract:
    We report three cases of drug-induced hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Three patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer underwent a curative operation and adjuvant chemotherapy with Mitomycin C (MMC), 5FU and Ara-C. Later, progressive anemia, thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction and elevation of serum LDH were recognized. A diagnosis of HUS was made. As they had no symptoms of infectious diseases or relapse of cancer, the cause of HUS was thought to be MMC. Treatment with antiplatelet drugs and fresh frozen plasma was effective for two patients. However, one patient died of pulmonary edema.
