Pregnancy-Associated Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Revisited in the Era of Complement Gene Mutations

Abstract: In contrast to pregnancy-associated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, the pathogenesis and presentation of pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (P-aHUS) remain ill-defined. We conducted a retrospective study to assess the presentation and outcomes of patients presenting with P-aHUS and the prevalence of alternative C3 convertase dysregulation. P-aHUS occurred in 21 of the 100 adult female patients with atypical HUS, with 79% presenting postpartum. We detected complement abnormalities in 1… Show more

“…Other pathologic features of TMA include endothelial cell swelling, accumulation of protein and cell debris in the subendothelial layer, and in some cases, splitting of the glomerular basement membrane (double contours) (23). TMA affecting mainly the kidney is usually called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which includes various subtypes: verotoxin-associated typical (diarrhea1) HUS, secondary HUS (for example, pregnancy-associated HUS) (24), and idiopathic atypical HUS (aHUS) (25). TMA characterized by profound thrombocytopenia and in some cases, neurologic disturbances is usually termed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).…”

“…A terhességasszociált aHUS (becsült incidencia: 1:25.000 terhesség) 79%-a a postpartum időszakban kezdődik (a szülés utáni 3. naptól a 6. hónapig), de komplementaktiváló tényezők (pl. infekció) hatására hamarabb jelentkezhet (akár az 1. trimesterben) [99]. Francia adatok [99] alapján a rizikó a 2. terhesség során a legnagyobb (közel 30%) -ennek oka nem ismert.…”

A terhesség alatt jelentkező aHUS-esetek 86%-ában valamilyen komplementmutáció (HF: 48%, IF: 9%, C3: 9%, MCP: 5%, >1 mutáció: 14%, nincs mutáció: 14%) és 57%-uknál homozygota aHUS-rizikó-halotípus (MCP ggaac : 22%, CFHH3: 45%) igazolható.…”
