Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

open access: yesPediatric 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]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesSeminars 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.

Anti-factor H antibody and its role in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
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.
