Pathogenesis of Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Journal 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).

Inborn errors of immunity in children with neuroinflammation

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), an expanding group of monogenic disorders with diverse clinical manifestations, are increasingly recognized to include neuroinflammatory disease. Examples of diseases included under this umbrella are Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2, familial haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis ...

Thrombotic Microangiopathy‐Like Phenotype in Patients With Infection‐Associated Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Treated With Thrombomodulin Alfa

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) sharing features of thrombocytopenia, organ dysfunction, and bleeding, the relationship between these two conditions remains unclear. We therefore conducted a post hoc analysis of post‐marketing surveillance data from Japan to evaluate the clinical ...

Impact of Heat Block Drying on Morphologic Preservation and Staining of Peripheral Blood Smears

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Morphologic evaluation of the peripheral blood smear is critical for diagnosis and ruling out certain hematologic disorders. While air‐drying is standard, some laboratories may use heat blocks to expedite drying. Excessive heat may induce morphologic artifacts, but there is a lack of systematic literature on this practice ...

Thromboinflammatory biomarkers in obstetric pathophysiology: Predictive insights into placental insufficiency and feto‐maternal adverse outcomes

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
Placental insufficiency is a thromboinflammatory disorder driven by angiogenic imbalance, complement activation, endothelial dysfunction and coagulation dysregulation, leading to microvascular thrombosis, impaired uteroplacental perfusion and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, including pre‐eclampsia, fetal growth restriction and stillbirth.

Complement activation in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and scleroderma renal crisis: a critical analysis of pathophysiology

Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2018
Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple systems. While pathophysiologic mechanisms governing the development of scleroderma are relatively poorly understood, advances in our understanding of the complement system are clarifying the ...
