The Authorization for the Marketing of today.

October : News from France

Lou-Anne is great. We have to put on register the second date of birth: July 15, 2011 .... That's incredible. She is like all other children. She is more tiring as before. Now it is we who get tired before her. It's wonderful. We have to make her post-transplant renal biopsy (here in France is 3 months). We await the results. Lou-Anne returned to school like other children on September 5. She loves and she is able to stay all day.

Our daughter has changed. She grew up. She wakes in the… Continue

Grafted 15 days there

We returned at home this weekend. It's a new life, a new birth. No more dialysis, preparations, connection, disconnection ... 1 hour and a half we have available in our schedule. Unbelievable. Lou-Anne is going superbly. It devours. Although it continues to urinate, so that the layers are not enough night. She has to learn. It does piss over her since the age of 1 year. What happiness! I wish us all to know that.

She had her injection of Soliris Friday before going out. She does not…

Lou-Anne / News from France

Lou-Anne is grafted since July 15. It is through the financial support of Soliris in our hospital we were able to transplant.

At 10 days, all is well. The three injections of Soliris are not raised worries. No side effects. Good renal function and blood work normal complement.

This long-awaited moment has finally arrived. What happiness! One week intense emotions, stress and anxiety.

We were on a driving holiday when we call for the transplant. Half turn. We were in the center of… Continue

Hi there! My oldest daughter is now on soliris. She recently needed to be on life support for a second time due to a severe flare up. She developed severe angioedema and was the first to do this. She is home now and doing better however the doctors have not seen anyone have such severe flare ups of this disease. She is being fallowed by the nephrology team at stanford university, primarily Dr. Wong and Dr. Alexander. I hope your daughter is doing well.

Bonjour du Maine! Je voulais juste vous faire savoir que je suis aller de l'avant avec la NORD / Eurordis initiative de créer une communauté mondiale aHUS en ligne. Les deux organisations, et je les détails ont examiné aujourd'hui, et je suis en train de les aider à affiner leurs paramètres du projet - cela peut prendre un peu plus de travail, mais c'est bon train. Je ne manquerai pas de vous tenir informé de ses progrès.
(Thank you, Google translator!)

Bienvenue! Please join me in welcoming Nicolas, Dad to a 5 year old daughter diagnosed at 10 months of age with atypical HUS and currently on dialysis. We hope to welcome other aHUS patients/families from AIRG-France, a wonderful organization that serves as a linking hub for all genetic kidney diseases, supporting information, outreach, and renal genetics research.
Their link: http://www.airg-france.org:80/airg_accueil.htm
We look forward to connecting all aHUS families globally to share information and insight, and look forward to the new online rare disease community initiative of NORD and EURODIS. (We'll add a blog regarding that as more information becomes available.)
 
 
 

WELCOME - Friends, Family Members, Patients, and Researchers - JOIN US!

The Foundation for Children with Atypical HUS encourages patients and investigators to share information and explore options/resources as we work together to gain insight into this rare complement disorder. By increasing contact opportunities with researchers and medical personnel interested in helping the aHUS community, our stories foster a better understanding of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Sharing information, inspiration and support for one another, we seek to gather together people and knowledge as we strive to improve the lives of patients and families dealing with a diagnosis of aHUS.


NEW DIAGNOSIS OF aHUS?
Be proactive! Get the medical basics of aHUS, what lab values to monitor, and areas of concern...check out the "aHUS Bootcamp" and "About aHUS" tabs at the top of this page!
If your doctor has never treated a case of aHUS, please print out our 'Doc to Doc Registry' and ask him/her to contact a physician versed in the complexities of aHUS and new options for 2011 genetic testing and treatment.

Did you know...

CFH (Serum Complement Factor H) is a regulatory protein. The secreted protein product of CFH consists of 20 repetitive units named "short consensus repeats" or SCRs (each approximately 60 amino acids). In patients with aHUS the last 5 "pearls" in the twenty pearl strand protein, SCR16 - SCR20, should bind to protect cells but do not- they are defective in one or more of the last 5 SCR locations. If they cannot bind or stick to the kidney to protect that tissue, the platelets clump into clots that affect the glomeruli of the kidney -potentially causing acute renal failure.

It is estimated that there are about 300 cases of aHUS in the U.S., and it is most common with young children. The condition is life threatening and either can be chronic or can recur at intervals.
