HUS Pancreatitis
Pritzker Olsen law firm represents victims of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and their families in E. coli HUS cases nationwide. Free consultation with Fred Pritzker, lead attorney for our E. coli cases.
Acute and Chronic HUS Pancreatitis
Children who are infected with E. coli O157:H7 and then develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) often develop pancreatitis:
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach and close to the duodenum—the first part of the small intestine. Normally, digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas do not become active until they reach the small intestine. But when the pancreas is inflamed, the enzymes inside it attack and damage the tissues that produce them.
Pancreatitis can be acute or chronic. Either form is serious and can lead to complications. In severe cases, bleeding, infection, and permanent tissue damage may occur.1
Pancreatitis is one of a multitude of serious health problems that can result from HUS E. coli. Read about other HUS complications.

If your child has HUS with seizures and other complications, you and your child have legal rights, including the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of quality of life from anyone who was responsible for the E. coli O157:H7 infection that caused the HUS.
If you would like to interview one of our attorneys before hiring our law firm, one of our E. coli lawyers will fly to meet with you. We have visited clients in the hospital, and feel this helps in our representation of these severely sick children.
