Hemolytic uremic syndrome. This rare disorder causes a sharp drop in platelets, destruction of red blood cells and impairment of kidney function. Sometimes it can occur in association with a bacterial Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection, such as may be acquired from eating raw or undercooked meat.
Atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units, or amu. Atomic mass units were taken from one proton or neutron of carbon-12, which each weigh 1 amu. Carbon-12 weighs exactly 12 amu. On the periodic table , you can see that carbon (C) has a number underneath it that is very close to 12. This is called the atomic mass.
Body weight is measured in kilograms, a measure of mass, throughout the world, although in some countries such as the United States it is measured in pounds, or as in the United Kingdom, stones and pounds. Most hospitals, even in the United States, now use kilograms for calculations, but use kilograms and pounds together for other purposes.
