Özet

Introduction Eculizumab is effective treatment of pediatric atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). However, the optimal duration of treatment is not clearly defined. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the outcome of pediatric patients with aHUS, who started eculizumab treatment but discontinued it during the follow-up period.
