摘要
We report the first observation of successful kidney transplantation under pre-emptive eculizumab treatment in a 7-year-old boy with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and a known hybrid CFH/CFHR1 gene, who was dependent on plasma therapy during the 3-year dialysis period. The hybrid CFH/CFHR1 protein has an altered C3b/C3d binding, is incapable to protect cells from complement attack and is directly implicated in aHUS pathogenesis. There was no evidence of recurrence during the first 16-month follow-up period. We conclude that eculizumab alone, without plasma therapy (plasma infusion and/or plasma exchange), is sufficient to prevent recurrence of aHUS and to maintain long-term graft function.
