Özet

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a disorder characterized by a propensity to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) due to defective regulation of the alternative complement pathway. Mutations in genes encoding complement factor H (CFH) and complement factor H-related proteins (CH IR) can be related with aHUS and identified in patients with rheumatologic diseases.
