Course and treatment characteristics of “obstetric” atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS)
Abstract
It is presented the case of rare aHUS that developed late in the second trimester of pregnancy, and showed severe multiple organ pathology, including the kidneys, heart, lungs, nervous system and placenta. As a result, early diagnosis and timely plazmotherapy started in conjunction with LMWH acute TMA eliminated with full restoration of function of damaged organs.
