Plasma infusion therapy in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome long term outcome.
We report 2 boys with atypical (diarrhea negative) hemolytic uremic syndrome requiring dialysis, who recovered complete renal functions after receiving fresh frozen plasma infusion therapy. One patient relapsed and required second course of plasma infusion therapy. After a prolonged follow up, both showed normal renal functions with mild residual hypertension.
