Eculizumab Maintenance and the Prevention of Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Relapse During Pregnancy: A Case Report.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is a thrombotic microangiopathy that can cause life-threatening anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. When triggered during pregnancy or the acute postpartum period, the disease is referred to as pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (P-aHUS). Women who suffer P-aHUS may later want to consider future pregnancy.
