Hola Tamara,Aldo empezó un jueves en la mañana con vómitos muy recurrentes y por la tarde lo lleve al hospital de emergencia pensamos que se trataba de un virus y que se le pasaría en unos días,le tomaron muestras de sangre y al día sig.lo vio su pediatra y ordeno mas mustras de sangre y encuanto obtuvo los resultados nos mando al Childrens Healt care of Atlanta y ahí estubo 31/2 semanas ocupo 3 transfusiones y sus riñones nomas trabajaban el 20% y su estado era muy critico,gracias a Dios el SOLARIS Le esta probando y ahora ocupa ir cada 2 semanas a recibir la medicina pero para esto ya le avía afectado el aHUS la vesícula y se la removieron hace 1 mes,el viernes tiene cita con su cirujano para hacerle un ultrasonido,ya que no encontró los cálculos biliares cuando se la removió y ojalá no los tenga en su organismo sino van a tener que hacerle una tractotomia,esperamos en Dios que no se ocupe y que el SOLARIS le siga funcionando como hasta ahorita,platicame tu historia Tamara que estés bien.te voy a hacer una ivitacion en F.B.para que conozcas a Aldo

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.
