The atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is the most complex disease in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis among the thrombotic microangiopathy. The article describes the clinical case of a 32-year-old woman with an aHUS in 32 week of gestation. It is given the diagnosis and treatment of this case till clinical convalescence.Observation within 1 year after the episode of the aHUS is showing up a chronic kidney failure, which will provide renal replacement therapy in future.
Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome being referred to autoimmune diseases appears to be one of the most severe forms of thrombosis and microangiopathy. Difficulties in diagnosis cause a delay in pathogenetic therapy, which causes a high maternal mortality rate. Pathogenetic therapy with eculizumab, suppressing the terminal activity of complement, may contribute to the recovery of blood coagulation properties, but the long-term prognosis for chronic renal failure remains unfavorable. The article deals with a clinical case confirming this conclusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
