Thrombotic microangiopathy, which includes thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), shiga-toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (Stx-HUS) and atypical HUS, is characterized by the development of hyaline thrombi in the microvasculature resulting in thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolysis, and organ dysfunction. Renal failure is a predominant
