Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by acute kidney injury with hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. It has diverse etiologies, clinical manifestations, and risk factors. Acute pancreatitis as a cause of HUS is rare in adults. We report a case of 32-year-old male who presented with ethanol-induced acute pancreatitis complicated with hemolytic-uremic syndrome managed with hemodialysis and plasmapheresis.
