Plasmatherapy has become empirically first-line treatment in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), although no prospective controlled trials have been conducted. Patients with mutations that induce complete or partial factor H (FH) quantitative deficiency may be controlled by plasma infusions (PI), but plasma exchanges appear more efficient than PI in patients with mutations that result in...

We also await results of trials such as POINT and TARDIS for confirmation of these results in non-Chinese populations. We agree with Jeong that there may be important differences according to the patients’ ...
