title: How atypical can Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome be?
abstract: A 24-year-old man with diarrhea found to have acute renal failure with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA). A diagnosis of hemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) was made. He was initiated on plasma exchange and hemodialysis. On day 6, he was started on eculizumab. His renal functions progressively improved. His main complication during eculizumab therapy was hypertension-related posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
