Using C3d Staining to Identify Complement-mediated Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Kidney Biopsies

Overview

About this study

The aim of this project is to evaluate whether kidney biopsy tissue will stain positive for C3d under immunofluorescence in patients who had renal thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) caused by atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and to study if that could offer a diagnostic value.
