Transplantation in Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2010
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a disease characterized by overactivation of complement. Recurrence following renal transplantation is determined by a genetic predisposition. Genetic screening of all individuals with aHUS should be performed prior to listing for transplantation. Individuals with isolated mutations in MCP have a low risk of

Plasmatherapy in Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2010
Plasmatherapy has become empirically first-line treatment in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), although no prospective controlled trials have been conducted. Patients with mutations that induce complete or partial factor H (FH) quantitative deficiency may be controlled by plasma infusions (PI), but plasma exchanges appear more efficient than ...

Atypical Hemolytic–Uremic Syndrome

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
The hemolytic–uremic syndrome, which is characterized by nonimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal impairment, occurs most frequently in young children. Most cases are secondary to infection with Escherichia coli O157:H7 and other Shiga-toxin–producing strains.

Pathogenesis of Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2019
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a type of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) defined by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and renal failure. aHUS is caused by uncontrolled complement activation in the alternative pathway (AP).

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2010
The last few years revealed a molecular distinction between thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a disease characterized by a lack of ADAMTS13 activity, and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a disease of complement overactivation. Many different predisposing genetic factors resulting in complement overactivation have been described in aHUS ...

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

Pediatrics International, 1995
AbstractThe pathogenesis of atypical uremic syndrome (HUS), which is rarely encountered in childhood, is poorly understood and its mortality and morbidity rates are high. A wide variety of therapeutic approaches has been attempted and the literature contains numerous conflicting reports about the results of these approaches.
