In addition, SD animals were healthy, the intake of either diet was similar, and they demonstrated no renal abnormalities [ 27 28 29 ] . In the present study, by day 21 the kidneys of S rats demonstrated significant vascular, glomerular and tubulo-interstitial injury.
An autopsy study determined that total kidney Gb3 levels were lower in infants than in adults (although only two individuals under 19 years of age were examined) [ 5 ] . Another study using immunostaining of biopsy samples found that glomeruli from infants (under two years of age), but not from older children or adults, bound Stx [ 6 ] . This provocative finding, albeit involving a relatively small sample size and patients who often had glomerulopathies, provided a potential explanation for augmented glomerular Stx sensitivity in young children.

Recent work indicates that other renal cell types may be Stx targets in HUS: cultured human proximal tubule (HPT) [ 9 ] and human visceral glomerular epithelial (HGEC) [ 10 ] cells express abundant amounts of Gb3 and are highly sensitive to the cytotoxic effect of Stx-1.
