What is Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS)?
Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, life-threatening disease characterized by the triad of hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. Unlike typical HUS, which is often associated with infections like Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), aHUS is primarily linked with genetic mutations affecting the complement system.
