Influenza-induced thrombotic microangiopathy in a patient with cancer on proteasome inhibitor: a diagnostic dilemma

We present such a diagnos tic dilemma in our patient who was admitted with influenza and was found to have TMA on renal biopsy, while on proteasome inhibitor (PI) therapy. With this case, we would like to highlight the importance of understanding the true cause of TMA to avoid unwarranted long-term discontinuation of life sa ving anti-cancer drugs after TMA resolution.
