Atypical HUS is a very rare and complex disease. We thank those who collaborate on global aHUS research efforts, and extend our gratitude to the physicians and groups who partner with patient organizations and international aHUS advocacy efforts.
We recognize with special appreciation these clinicians and aHUS investigators who connect with our aHUS Alliance Global Action team, and thank them for acting as a connecting point to advance aHUS research in practice.
Note to Patients & Caregivers: We’re pleased to support your healthcare with this global ‘Doc to Doc’ directory, which provides your medical team with expertise to consult on complex care of people diagnosed with atypical HUS (or a suspected diagnosis of aHUS). If you are a patient or aHUS caregiver, please contact your own medical team if you wish them to reach out to these experts. This network was created so that physicians worldwide may reach out for medical consultation regarding aHUS diagnosis and management.
