New to the site, looking to connect with other kids.

I am 12 years old and I have ahus and I like spending the night at my cousins house. Then, whenever me and my cousin get hot we like to go swimming and I like to play baseball.

Hi, Ryan,  He's doing pretty good.  He hurt his arm somehow, and a couple of goofy things are going on with his labs, but he can't wait for Thanksgiving to see his cousins and goof off all night with them. 

How about you?  Did you feel any different after getting the Soliris?  Nathan says no, but he talks a lot more now than he ever did!  After Thanksgiving is over, I'll have him get in touch, it's crazy here today getting ready to have all those cousins!

Hey, Ryan!

Hope you're doing well, just wanted to let you know that Nathan B. just came online here- please join me to welcome him to our crew.  If you guys would like to start your own kids Forum, feel free to create your own space for you to gather and chat.  Your moms can help point out that spot for you, just don't allow any of us to title it because we old folks would probably pick some lame name (horrors...not 'Kids Korner"!!)  LOL

Hi Ryan, Marissa is doing well.  She has yet to start up a profile on here because she has been pretty busy with her new horse.  There are only a couple weeks of summer vacation left for her, she starts 6th grade on September 1st. 

Have you started back to school yet?

At 10:28pm on August 6, 2011, Sharon Madrid said…
Marissa said to say "Thanks" Ryan, she is going to start up a page tomorrow so she can chat with you and the other kids your age :)  How's your summer going?  I hope you have been enjoying it!

Hi Ryan,

 

Did you see the comment he made under my page?  If he had an email address, he'd have his own page too, I just need to find time to do that...

 
 
 

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.
