Abstract
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare disease, caused by dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway, characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and renal insufficiency, in the absence of positive Shiga toxin or ADAMTS13 deficiency. First line treatment is eculizumab, that allows for, in most of cases, a complete remission within six months. We present the case of an atypical late renal response to eculizumab administration.
