Sharing our new manuscript on differentiating #HELLP and #aHUS postpartum. Key parameters to recognize aHUS are elevated Creatinine and LDH levels that persist >72hr after delivery. Differentiating HELLP Syndrome and aHUS in the Postpartum Period ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HY…

Recognition of aHUS in the postpartum period is critical, because left untreated it may progress to end-stage kidney disease, dialysis, and renal transplant. The best treatment for aHUS is complement blockade, which improves long-term kidney function and decreases mortality.

In our study of HELLP cases compared with aHUS cases in the postpartum period, we found that the optimal cut points to diagnosis aHUS were: - Cr 1.9 mg/dl or greater - LDH 1832 U/L or greater - Cr 1.9 mg/dl + LDH 600 U/L in combination Graphical Abstract 👇👇👇

More than one-third of all U.S. counties are maternity care deserts — meaning they lack obstetric providers, hospitals or birth centers offering obstetric care — according to a March of Dimes report. trib.al/S77qrGT

In our work with the Fetal Sequencing Consortium, Bobby Brar and colleagues found that fetal megacystis often represented underlying genetic disorders and complicated disease. It's pleasure to collaborate with this talented group! More to come!obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
