A novel missense mutation in complement factor I predisposes patients to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, also called the nondiarrheal form of hemolytic uremic syndrome, is a rare disease characterized by the triad of thrombocytopenia, Coomb’s test-negative microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and acute renal ...

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.

Nephrotic syndrome associated with primary atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2020
Primary atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome is a rare disease characterized by non-immune microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction; it is related to alterations in the regulation of the alternative pathway of complement ...

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2020
Background Thrombotic microangiopathy is a pathological condition comprised of microvascular thrombosis involving any organ of the body leading to thrombocytopenia, Coombs-negative hemolytic anemia, and end-organ damage.

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

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.

Pregnancy-Induced Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. [PDF]

Cureus
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy that causes anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. In aHUS, a triggering event can lead to dysregulation of the complement immune system, leading to a cascade of events resulting in clot formation, capillary thrombosis, and renal dysfunction.

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 ...
