Non-Shiga toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (non-Stx-HUS) is a rare disease. The clinical outcome is often unfavorable: 50% of patients progress to end-stage renal failure. Several mutations in complement regulatory genes predispose to non-Stx-HUS. Transplantation outcomes are poor among patients with either mutation in the genes encoding complement H or I factors, with 80% graft loss due to HUS recurrence. In contrast, patients with mutation in the gene encoding MCP have no disease relapse after transplantation. There are no treatment guidelines for non-Stx-HUS recurrence. Herein we have presented 8 patients with non-Stx-HUS recurrence after transplantation during the last 10 years in the South of France. HUS recurrence, which occurred early after transplantation in all but 1 patient, was treated by plasma exchange (PE) with substitution by fresh frozen plasma (FFP). Three patients still treated with long-term plasma therapy have no recurrence at 15, 19, or 24 months. An international registry would help to define new guidelines.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
