Influenza B-Associated Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome [PDF]

Revista Portuguesa de Nefrologia e Hipertensão, 2022
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) triggered by influenza virus (iHUS) is rare. Influenza A infections have been described to trigger atypical HUS (aHUS) in individuals with an underlying genetic complement dysregulation. To date there are only few reports

Hyperfunctional complement C3 promotes C5-dependent atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome in mice [PDF]

, 2019
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is frequently associated in humans with loss-of-function mutations in complement-regulating proteins or gain-of-function mutations in complement-activating proteins.

The genetics of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]

Medizinische Genetik, 2018
Abstract Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia due to endothelial injury. aHUS is felt to be caused by defective complement regulation due to underlying genetic mutations in complement regulators or activators, most often of the alternative pathway.

Analysis of linear antibody epitopes on factor H and CFHR1 using sera of patients with autoimmune atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: In autoimmune atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), the complement regulator factor H (FH) is blocked by FH autoantibodies, while 90% of the patients carry a homozygous deletion of its homolog complement FH-related protein 1 (CFHR1 ...

Infection frequently triggers thrombotic microangiopathy in patients with preexisting risk factors : a single-institution experience [PDF]

, 2010
Thrombotic microangiopathies are rare conditions characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, microthrombi, and multiorgan insult. The disorders, which include hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, are often acute and ...

Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2018
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare life-threatening disease of unregulated complement activation. Untreated, the prognosis is generally poor; more than one-half of patients die or develop end-stage renal disease within 1 year. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy with evidence of hemolysis ...

Serological and genetic complement alterations in infection-induced and complement-mediated hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]

, 2016
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 ...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome related to Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli with encephalitis hiding a human herpesvirus-6 infection: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2021
Background Cardiac and neurological involvement in hemolytic uremic syndrome are life-threatening complications. The most frequent complications of cardiac involvement in hemolytic uremic syndrome are myocarditis and cardiac dysfunction due to fluid ...

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
Hemolytic uremic syndromes are a heterogeneous group of conditions with differing underlying pathophysiology. These all result in pathologic features of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), which cause endothelial damage and organ injury. TMAs manifest with a microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and commonly acute kidney injury.

Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Seminars in Nephrology, 2013
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. The atypical form of HUS is a disease characterized by complement overactivation. Inherited defects in complement genes and acquired autoantibodies against complement regulatory proteins have been described.
