KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION IN PATIENTS WITH ATYPICAL HAEMOLYTIC URAEMIC SYNDROME (lection)

Abstract

Kidney transplantation (KT) until recent time was considered contraindicated to patients with end stage kidney failure due to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) because of high risk of recurrence of the underlying disease and graft loss. However, it has now developed new approaches to prevention and treatment aHUS relapse in posttransplantation period, which significantly improved KT results in these patients. This article discusses the principles of risk assessment aHUS relapse after transplantation, the donor organ selection, features of immunosuppressive therapy, prevention and treatment of aHUS episodes in renal transplant recipients.
