Heterogeneity but individual constancy of epitopes, isotypes and avidity of factor H autoantibodies in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]
Factor H (FH) autoantibodies are present in 6-10% of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) patients, most of whom have homozygous deficiency of the FH-related protein FHR-1. Although the pathogenic role of the autoantibodies is established, little is

Factor H autoantibody is associated with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome in children in the United Kingdom and Ireland [PDF]
Factor H autoantibodies can impair complement regulation, resulting in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, predominantly in childhood. There are no trials investigating treatment, and clinical practice is only informed by retrospective cohort ...

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 ...

Genital Crohn's disease in pediatrics and genetic associations
Abstract Genital edema is a rare presentation of Crohn's disease (CD), also known as metastatic CD (MCD). This may precede, co‐occur with, or follow gastrointestinal symptoms and present a diagnostic challenge. We aimed to characterize the features, clinical courses, pathogenesis, and outcomes of patients with MCD to increase understanding and promote ...

The global aHUS registry: methodology and initial patient characteristics [PDF]
Background: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, genetically-mediated systemic disease most often caused by chronic, uncontrolled complement activation that leads to systemic thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and renal and other end-organ ...

COVID-19-associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and use of Eculizumab therapy
There is a high incidence of acute kidney injury with COVID-19 infections. The etiologies of acute kidney injury could be ischemic acute tubular necrosis or a complex process of complement activation leading to thrombotic microangiopathy.
