Overview
• A significant percentage of cases of atypical HUS are due to disorders of complement regulation.

Overview
• A significant percentage of cases of atypical HUS are due to disorders of complement regulation.
• Empiric plasma therapy can delay or prevent ESRD in many of those cases

Overview
• A significant percentage of cases of atypical HUS are due to disorders of complement regulation.
• Empiric plasma therapy can delay or prevent ESRD in many of those cases
• Risk of post-transplant recurrence depends on the specific disorder of complement regulation.

Since the early 1970’s alternative pathway complement activation (low C3), has been recognized in some cases of atypical HUS

Complement and Atypical HUSAbout 50%-60% of aHUS cases are associated with a
mutation in a complement-related gene
Protein Gene Source Location % of aHUS
Factor H CFH Liver circulates ~ 15-30%
Factor I CFI Liver circulates ~ 5-10%

Recommended Initial Evaluation of HUS
Because infections trigger both typical and atypical HUS, initial evaluation should encompass both
Testing should include C3 level as well as classic evaluation (stool culture, LDH, smear, etc.)
ADAMSTS13 / auto-Ab analysis if TTP not ruled out
Save some plasma for later analysis

Plasma TherapyFluid phase complement proteins reside in plasma and are therefore subject to plasma therapy

There are MANY anecdotes of prolonged preservation of kidney function in patients with CFH mutation, though most eventually suffer ESRD.
Benefit is not clear for MCP mutations– most (single) episodes seem to recover with or without exchange

ESRD Management
Do not diagnose ESRD too soon.
Renal recovery may occur if TMA is halted.
In dialysis dependent patients, native nephrectomy should be considered for:
• Ongoing HUS (clinical or biochemical)• Severe hypertension
![Page 27: ESRD Management of Atypical Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS) Jeffrey M. Saland, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Mount Sinai School of Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c7c5503460f9492ff44/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ESRD Management: Dialysis
aHUS is generally quiescent during ESRD
Rare findings reported during dialysis:• Angioedema, complement activation (hemodialysis)• Hemolysis / thrombocytopenia• Subclinical hepatic (or other organ) involvement

ESRD Management: Dialysis
Due to a high rate of transplant failures, aHUS patients have been faced with extremely long dialysis duration and its accompanying risks.

Transplant Decisions
No KnownMutation Transplantation Reasonable
Current consensus for now is to provide pre-operative plasma exchange and at least one month of tapering plasma exchange protocol

Atypical HUS has a high risk of ESRDTransplantation options depend on the specific cause
Transplant surgery triggers complement activation
For high-recurrence risk conditions:Current options are risky and limitedEmerging treatments are promising
