ATYPICAL HEMOLYTIC UREMIC SYNDROME DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT by Atakan Turgutkaya

“…Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), more commonly known as complement-related HUS is a kind of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) characterized by inherited pathogenic variants in complement genes or acquired autoantibodies against complement factors, predominantly involving kidney [1]. Activation of the alternative complement pathway (AP), which occurs due to dysfunction in complement regulatory proteins or, less commonly, activation of mutations in the complement proteins themselves, constitutes the pathogenesis of aHUS and enables endothelial damage [2]. …”
