Challenges in Diagnostics and Management of Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Associated with Acute Intestinal Infection in Adolescent: Clinical Case

Background: Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare progressive form of systemic thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), which develops due to uncontrolled activation of the alternative pathway of the complement system and is characterized by a predominant lesion of the vessels of the renal microcirculatory bed.Clinical cases description: The article describes two clinical cases of aHUS, which demonstrate the difficulties of differential diagnosis of typical and atypical HUS at the initial stages of the disease.Conclusion: Given the lack of clear laboratory criteria of aHUS, it is necessary to carry out a complex and consistent differential diagnosis of various TMA options, the exclusion of which makes it possible to make a correct diagnosis more accurately.
