Everything about atypical HUS is atypical, and frankly a bit annoying. The differential diagnosis is as wide as the ocean and when it comes to genetics, well that would make even a psychologically stable fellow nervous. Luckily, we’ve found help of the highest degree. Neil Sheerin has been tackling this animal for ages and has gotten to know all of its tricks and dirty plays. Tune in to our atypical HUS episode and gain the upper ground on this beast. Learn about diagnosis, lab testing, treatment, stopping treatment, genetics and transplantation in this easy-to-follow episode of A Pinch of Salt. You’ll see clearly now the pain is gone.
