Today is aHUS Awareness Day.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare condition that causes abnormal blood clotting in small blood vessels, which can damage organs including the kidneys. Because aHUS is rare and its symptoms can be difficult to recognise, diagnosis can be challenging. Early detection and appropriate care can help limit organ damage and protect kidney function.
