Diarrhea-related hemolytic uremic syndrome : unmasking antifactor H antibodies

الملخص EN

The cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) proceeded by diarrhea are commonly labeled as D + HUS.

However, with severe renal failure or with delayed recovery, such cases should be evaluated for rarer associations like Factor H (FH), I and CD 46 deficiency or mutations.

We report such a presentation of a young boy who initially came with diarrhea and had features of HUS with delayed renal recovery.

He later turned out to have anti-FH antibody-related HUS.
