Serological and genetic complement alterations in infection-induced and complement-mediated hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]
Background: The role of complement in the atypical form of hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) has been investigated extensively in recent years. As the HUS-associated bacteria Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) can evade the complement system ...

Transplantation in Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome [PDF]
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

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) – case report
Introduction Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. In 90% of children, HUS most often develops after an intestinal infection caused by verotoxin-producing E. coli. The remaining 10%
