Description
Chao Ji and co-authors report a rare blood and kidney syndrome arising after abortion and infection, with a literature review, published in 2025. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is hard to diagnose because it overlaps with pregnancy conditions and a related clotting disorder. When it follows pregnancy it is rare but carries high risk of kidney failure without fast treatment.
A 41-year-old woman developed severe belly pain, kidney injury, and red cell breakdown five days after a surgical abortion. Tests showed low platelets, fragmented red cells, and raised kidney markers. Infection plus complement system imbalance were the suspected triggers, fitting a multiple-hit picture. Dialysis-like therapy steadied her kidneys, and plasma exchange aided recovery, though the targeted drug was declined for cost reasons. The authors discuss diagnosis when complement levels look normal.
