Abstract

The article focuses on an 8-year-old girl diagnosed with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) after presenting with non-bloody diarrhea, hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Topics include her clinical presentation with elevated blood pressure and kidney involvement, the negative tests for shiga toxin and the normal ADAMTS-13 activity, and her subsequent treatment with plasma exchange and eculizumab, leading to improved kidney function and the cessation of dialysis.
