Glad to know that Chloe's labwork looks good in so many areas. I know what you mean by the 'medication shuffle' - there's a lot of comfort to be had in a status quo routine of familiar medications and dosages. It got so complicated trying to keep Hu…

Chloe is adorable and she looks happy. Glad to hear you got SSI it helps alot, especially the medicaid. We save more a month just from having the medicaid cover all copays than the actual SSI payment.

Hey you! Hope you had a fabulous turnout at Chloe's blood drive on Saturday - thanks for your role in supporting Omak's folks with donating blood, offering the gift of life to others.
When you're not too busy with spinning class, give us an update please on both Chloe's blood drive and on your fitness challenge!

Hi,
Love the pics and music!! How did you do that?? I'll have to steal that. :)
Anyway, they are wanting us to go to Washington University Hospital, in St. Louis. They are suppose to be a teaching hospital, with a huge Children's Hospital attached. :) I think Cheryl thought it was in Washington because of the name. :) I love your little girl, so precious. I'll have to read her story. Did you not love the Make a Wish trip to Disney?? When did you go? We took Syd last March when she turned 3. :)

WELCOME - Friends, Family Members, Patients, and Researchers - JOIN US!

The Foundation for Children with Atypical HUS encourages patients and investigators to share information and explore options/resources as we work together to gain insight into this rare complement disorder. By increasing contact opportunities with researchers and medical personnel interested in helping the aHUS community, our stories foster a better understanding of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Sharing information, inspiration and support for one another, we seek to gather together people and knowledge as we strive to improve the lives of patients and families dealing with a diagnosis of aHUS.


NEW DIAGNOSIS OF aHUS?
Be proactive! Get the medical basics of aHUS, what lab values to monitor, and areas of concern...check out the "About aHUS" tab at the top of this page!
If your doctor has never treated a case of aHUS, please print out our 'Doc to Doc Registry' and ask him/her to contact a physician versed in the complexities of aHUS and new options for 2010 genetic testing and treatment.

Did you know...

CFH (Serum Complement Factor H) is a regulatory protein. The secreted protein product of CFH consists of 20 repetitive units named "short consensus repeats" or SCRs (each approximately 60 amino acids). In patients with aHUS the last 5 "pearls" in the twenty pearl strand protein, SCR16 - SCR20, should bind to protect cells but do not- they are defective in one or more of the last 5 SCR locations. If they cannot bind or stick to the kidney to protect that tissue, the platelets clump into clots that affect the glomeruli of the kidney -potentially causing acute renal failure.
  
• • • • • • • • • • • •
  
It is estimated that there are about 300 cases of aHUS in the U.S., and it is most common with young children. The condition is life threatening and either can be chronic or can recur at intervals.
