Abstract
Autoimmune diseases may act as a trigger for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Triggers for aHUS may include autoimmune diseases, infections, metabolic conditions, pregnancy, and transplants. aHUS-mediated injury to various organs, especially kidneys, can be life-threatening. Here, we present the case of a young female who had perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (p-ANCA)-associated vasculitis and was diagnosed with aHUS. We consider underlying autoimmune p-ANCA-associated vasculitis as a trigger for aHUS in this case.
