SOLUBLE ADHESION MOLECULES IN CHILDREN WITH HEMOLYTIC UREMIC SYNDROME

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrom (aHUS) is a rare severe life-threatening form of thrombotic microangiopathy. aHUS is thought to be primarily mediated by dysfunctional complement regulation, due to mutations or genetic rearrangement of the complement components, or regulatory factors, as well as au...

Serum C3, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels were determined in 25 children with aHUS (14 treated with eculizumab and 15, without eculizumab). A control group included 17 children with a history of typical HUS. Serum levels of C3, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were within normal age ranges in all the groups. The children treated with eculizumab showed decreased C3 levels (99±20 mg/l vs 112±15 mg/l, and 123±40 mg/l, respectively), and increased sICAM-1 levels (483±103 ng/ ml vs 343±50 ng/ml and 401±91 ng/ml, respectively) compared to other groups (p < 0.05). No differences in sVCAM-1 levels were revealed in the groups. Hence, no signs of subclinical complement activation or endothelial disfunction were revealed in the group free of eculizumab therapy. Normal C3, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels in blood indicate that normal endothelial state could be restored in aHUS, and this condition is maintained after discontinuation of the targeted therapy. Our results suggest that C3, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 monitoring may be useful for further management of these patients and for prediction of relapses.T. E. PankratenkoO. V. MoskaletsT. Yu.
