- Question Does Not Apply To My Situation
the daughter of a friend was diagnosed with ahus last year... i had never heard of ahus before, and frankly am still quite ignorant about it...
my interest in being a member here is really two.fold: information, and encouragement...
i would like to become more informed about ahus... not as an academic study, but rather to be more empathetic toward my friend's present experience, by understanding it...
as for the encouragement part: i'm the dad of a talented and beautiful but chronically-ill daughter myself (not ahus)... to be honest i just need to hear somebody credible say 'i care' every once in a while...
i would like to become a credible, caring voice for my friend and her family...
and to others through this site, if at all possible...
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 "About aHUS" tab 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.
