Systematic review of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome biomarkers
Pediatric Nephrology Feb 10, 2022
Low levels of C3, CH50, AH50, and complement factor B (CFB) along with elevated levels of C5a, C5b-9, Bb, anti-CFH (anti-complement factor H) autoantibodies, and d-dimer would identify atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), if a comprehensive complement profile were constructed using data generated herein.
This is a systematic review on the aHUS biomarkers: C3, C5a, C5b-9, factor B, complement factor B, H, and I, CH50, AH50, d-dimer, as well as anti-CFH antibodies.
This analysis involved 60 studies consisting of 837 aHUS patients, with at least one biomarker reported.
Relative to the reference range, the biomarkers C3, CH50, AH50 and CFB were identified to be lower among aHUS persons.
In those with aHUS, the biomarkers including C4, C4d, CFH and complement factor I were within the reference range.
Patients with aHUS exhibited higher levels of biomarkers C5a, C5b-9, Bb and d-dimer than the reference range.
