Abstract

Mirror Syndrome Combined with Postpartum Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome by Ning Luo, Hong J. Li, Zhu Lin, Yin Li, Hong M. Gao

Background: Mirror syndrome is a rare disease characterized by "triple edema", while Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (PHUS) is a serious disease that occurs within a short period of time after the end of pregnancy, with a low prevalence and poor prognosis, and it is even rarer for both to occur in the same patient.
Methods: We report a case of mirror syndrome combined with PHUS and analyze the clinical data to improve the understanding of the disease.
Results: The patient presented clinically with "triple edema" and was diagnosed with mirror image syndrome. After cesarean section, the patient developed cardiac insufficiency, renal insufficiency, hemolysis, and other symptoms and was diagnosed as PHUS. After active treatment, the maternal prognosis was good.
Conclusions: Mirror syndrome and PHUS are both clinically rare diseases with poor long-term prognosis if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner; therefore, awareness of the diseases, early and accurate diagnosis and timely and correct treatment should be improved.
