Recurrent microangiopathic hemolysis after recovery from complement-mediated hemolytic uremia syndrome during chemotherapy for a CFH-mutated patient with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma
We report the case of an 8-year-old boy with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) who developed CM-HUS with complement factor H (CFH) mutations (S1191L, V1197A) during induction therapy. Safe administration of chemotherapy after CM-HUS recovery was challenging. By closely monitoring hemolytic and renal parameters during the 2-year treatment period, we observed four episodes of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) with hypocomplementemia and low haptoglobin but no renal dysfunction or thrombocytopenia. Here, we describe the MAHA and CM-HUS episodes in the hopes of elucidating the complex pathophysiology of disorders associa...

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Associated With Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in a Child: A Case Report and Systematic Literature Review
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening disorder resulting from excessive activation and nonmalignant proliferation of T-lymphocytes and macrophages. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disease characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Reports pertaining to the association between HLH and HUS are rarely published; however, we report on a 4-year-old boy who was diagnosed with both conditions and treated successfully with high-dose steroid and intravenous immunoglobulin. Differentiating HUS from HLH can be challenging because of their clinical simil...

A Comprehensive Review of Hepatic Hemangioma Management
ConclusionHHs are very common benign liver lesions. High-quality imaging is imperative to distinguish HHs from other liver lesions. Surgery is generally reserved for patients who present with symptoms such as pain, obstruction, or rarely Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. Surgery can involve either formal resection or, in most instances, simple enucleation. Patients generally have good outcomes following surgery with resolution of their symptoms.

Thrombotic microangiopathies: An illustrated review
Res Pract Thromb Haemost. 2022 Apr 22;6(3):e12708. doi: 10.1002/rth2.12708. eCollection 2022 Mar.ABSTRACTThe thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are a heterogenous group of disorders with distinct pathophysiologies that cause occlusive microvascular or macrovascular thrombosis, and are characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and/or end-organ ischemia. TMAs are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and data on the management of certain TMAs are often lacking. The nomenclature, classification, and management of various TMAs is constantly evolving as we learn more about these rare ...

Copy number variation analysis using next-generation sequencing identifies the < em > CFHR < /em > 3/ < em > CFHR < /em > 1 deletion in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome: a case report
CONCLUSION: We genetically diagnosed a Korean woman harboring a heterozygous CFHR3/CFHR1 deletion of a known causative gene for aHUS. Our report emphasizes the need for CNV analysis of NGS data and gene dosage assays, such as MLPA, to evaluate large-scale deletions or duplications and generate hybrid CFH genes in patients with suspected aHUS.PMID:35617302 | DOI:10.1080/16078454.2022.2075121 (Source: Hematology)
