Clinical surveillance of thrombotic microangiopathies in Scotland, 2003-2005 [PDF]
The prevalence, incidence and outcomes of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura (TTP) are not well established in adults or children from prospective studies. We sought to identify both outcomes and current management

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%

Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome in children
Background: Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare progressive form of systemic thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), which develops due to uncontrolled activation of the alternative pathway of the complement system and is characterized by a ...

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

Two patients with history of STEC-HUS, posttransplant recurrence and complement gene mutations [PDF]
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disease of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. About 90% of cases are secondary to infections by Escherichia coli strains producing Shiga-like toxins (STEC-HUS), while 10% are ...

Epidemiology of Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: A Systematic Literature Review
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare but severe disorder that frequently has a genetic component and results from the overactivation of the alternative complement pathway. As research moves toward improved diagnosis and therapy of aHUS, it

Genetics of Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) [PDF]
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare, life-threatening disease characterized by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and acute renal failure. The atypical form of HUS (aHUS), representing 5 to 10% of cases, lacks the association with infection by Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli strains that characterizes the commonest ...

Factor H gene variants in Japanese: Its relation to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]
Mutations and polymorphisms of factor H gene (FH1) are known to be closely involved in the developmentof atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Several groups have identified disease risk mutations andpolymorphisms of FH1 for the development of aHUS,
