A systematic review of short-term outcomes in patients with anti–factor H associated atypical HUS managed with plasma exchanges versus eculizumab

Background Antibodies to factor H (anti-FH) are a leading cause of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) in school-going children. While terminal complement blockade with eculizumab (ECZ) is standard of care for all forms of aHUS, anti-FH associated aHUS is uniquely amenable to combination thera...
