DR. BRANDT:
      If I can get this thing to work, here. Well, thank you very much. I would like to thank the conference organizers for inviting me. And as a lot of you know, I was a former fellow here at Children's Hospital during the 1993 outbreak, so I recognize a lot of faces here in the crowd. And I now work in Albuquerque, New Mexico. During the preparation of this talk I conversed with Laurie Girard a lot by E-mail. And so Laurie would E-mail me and say, Dr. Brandt, I'm so sorry to bother you. I know you're a very busy man but could you please send me X, Y, Z. And I would look at the E-mail and promptly forget it. And about a week later I would get another very polite E-mail from Laurie saying, Doctor, I'm so sorry to bother you. I know you're a very busy man. I wonder if you could get me your syllabus or whatever or like that. And so I think probably the busiest person in the last year here has been Laurie, and I want to thank her particularly for all of her hard work. I'm going to talk about the long term renal outcomes in diarrhea associated HUS and, again, I do want to stress, as some of the other speakers did, that my remarks refer only to diarrhea associated HUS. I don't think they would be applicable to strep pneumonia associated HUS or TTP or adult type HUS. I'm going to talk first about the normal structure of the kidney just to give us some sort of ground work, and then the ways that we measure normal kidney function. And then I'm going to speak a little bit about what we see clinically at the cell and structural level in HUS. And finally, we will get to the outcomes that we have found so far in HUS.
