Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
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]
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 ...

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
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
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.

Anti-factor H antibody and its role in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) an important form of a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) that can frequently lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). An important subset of aHUS is the anti-factor H associated aHUS.

Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy as a cause of acute kidney injury in dogs in the UK [PDF]
To describe the signalment, clinicopathological findings and outcome in dogs presenting with acute kidney injury (AKI) and skin lesions between November 2012 and March 2014, in whom cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) was suspected and ...
