Retrospective Research exploring gestational atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
Journal Title: Obstetrics Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: A retrospective research study revealing clinical features and prognostic parameters of 22 cases of gestational atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Methodology: A retrospective research study in an analytical manner of 22 cases of gestational Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome from the Demerdash Maternity Hospital records using diverse management protocols. Results: 12 cases underwent plasma exchange management protocol with a favourable impact regarding renal response in only 8 cases. On the contrary, 10 cases were managed with high dose plasma infusion with an excellent renal response in 7 cases by regaining renal functional capacity in managed cases. Conclusion: The research performed by our group revealed considerable effectiveness of high dose therapy plasma infusion management of atypical HUS. Although therapeutic plasma exchange is the recommended treatment of HUS, this cumbersome procedure may not be available for all patients in an emergency. In this context, plasma infusion may represent an alternative first-line therapy.
