MALIGNANT ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN A CHILD WITH ATYPICAL HEMOLYTIC-UREMIC SYNDROME

Abstract

Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare orphan disease. In the Altai Region, two cases of aHUS among children have been recorded. The disease is characterized by a severe course with high mortality, frequent development of complications and a possible outcome in the terminal stage of chronic renal failure. The severe course of aНUS may be aggravated by the development of extrarenal complications. In addition, patients with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome have a high risk of developing relapses of the disease - acute manifestations of aНUS. The presented clinical observation describes the unfavorable course of aHUS complicated by secondary malignant arterial hypertension.
