Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Recurrence after Renal Transplantation: C3-Glomerulonephritis as an Initial Presentation.

Transplantation direct

Bouatou Y, Bacchi VF, Villard J, Moll S, Martin PY, Hadaya K.
PMID: 27500215
Transplant Direct. 2015 Mar 26;1(2):e9. doi: 10.1097/TXD.0000000000000518. eCollection 2015 Mar.

Risk for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) recurrence after renal transplantation is low with an isolated membrane cofactor protein mutation (MCP). We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with a MCP who underwent kidney transplantation with a good...

The complement factor H-related (FHR) proteins are hypothesized to fine-tune the regulatory role of complement factor H (FH) in the alternative pathway of the complement system. Moreover, FHR-1, FHR-2, and FHR-5 have been proposed to be dimers, which further...

NDT Plus. 2009 Dec;2(6):458-60. doi: 10.1093/ndtplus/sfp109. Epub 2009 Aug 18.

Complement factor H auto-antibodies (CFH-ab) are a rare cause (6-10%) of atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS). All observations previously described were retrospective and occurred in children or teenagers. We report the first case of aHUS associated with anti-CFH antibodies...

HTRA1 in Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of severe visual impairment and irreversible blindness in most developed countries, affecting more than 50 million of elderly people worldwide. Current treatments, such as intravitreal injection of antiangiogenic agents, mitigate the...

Serum complement factor I is associated with disease activity of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Oncotarget

Tseng MH, Lin SH, Wu CY, Chien HP, Yang HY, Chen YC, Chou YC, Huang JL.
PMID: 29492211
Oncotarget. 2018 Jan 03;9(9):8502-8511. doi: 10.18632/oncotarget.23907. eCollection 2018 Feb 02.

Although aberrant complement activation is involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the role of complement regulatory proteins in disease activity of SLE remains limited. We enrolled the pediatric-onset SLE patients from our cohort study over 10...

Comparative proteomic analysis in serum of former uranium miners with and without radon induced squamous lung cancer.

Journal of occupational medicine and toxicology (London, England)

Helmig S, Lochnit G, Schneider J.
PMID: 30923558
J Occup Med Toxicol. 2019 Mar 15;14:9. doi: 10.1186/s12995-019-0228-y. eCollection 2019.

SUMMARY: Former uranium miners of the Wismut Company, East Germany, have been exposed to ionizing radiation from radon decay products and therefore were at high risk for lung cancer. Since histological types of cancer in the so called Wismut...

Impact of a Complement Factor H Gene Variant on Renal Dysfunction, Cardiovascular Events, and Response to ACE Inhibitor Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes.

Complement activation has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and its chronic complications. It is unknown whether complement factor H (CFH) genetic variants, which have been previously associated with complement-mediated organ damage likely due to...

Identification of potential therapeutic target genes in mouse mesangial cells associated with diabetic nephropathy using bioinformatics analysis.

Experimental and therapeutic medicine

Mou X, Zhou DY, Liu YH, Liu K, Zhou D.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. Despite appropriate therapy, 20-40% of affected-patients evolve toward end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Mesangial IgA deposits are the hallmark of IgAN, and complement deposition (C3) seems to differentiate latent IgA...

BACKGROUND: Atypical hemolytic and uremic syndrome (aHUS), a thrombotic micro-angiopathy (TMA) caused by deregulation in the complement pathway, is sometimes due to the presence of anti-complement factor H (CFH) auto-antibodies. The "standard" treatment for such aHUS combines plasma exchange...
