Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome – a Rare Disease

 
Information and medical knowledge can change rapidly, which can be problematic for those looking for the latest facts and key research about the rare disease atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (atypical HUS or aHUS).
The aHUS Alliance, an international umbrella group of atypical HUS patient organizations and rare disease advocates, annually has created a robust and varied set of images and resources for aHUS Awareness campaigns each 24 September. (On Twitter @aHUS24Sept and @aHUSallianceAct )
