Eculizumab in an anephric patient with atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome and advanced vascular lesions.
(2013) In Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation 28(11). p.2899-2907- Abstract
- Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is associated with dysfunction of the alternative pathway of complement. Disease activity subsides as renal failure progresses but recurs upon renal transplantation, indicating that viable renal tissue contributes to disease activity. We present evidence of cerebrovascular occlusive disease indicating that vascular injury may occur in the absence of kidneys.
