Core Tip |
Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare disorder. In some cases, complement mutation can be identified. The most common cases involved mutations of genes for complement factor H and membrane co-factor protein, whereas rare cases were linked to complement factor I (CFI) mutation. We here describe the first case of aHUS due to CFI mutation in Saudi Arabia. Our case presented with interesting characteristics including late recovery of kidney failure from dialysis upon initiation of eculizumab and persistent hematologic and renal remissions despite discontinuation of eculizumab. |
