Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a life-threatening disorder for which prompt diagnosis and eculizumab treatment is indicated. The time for relapse and patients at risk for relapse after eculizumab discontinuation are unknown. While some authors believe there is no clinical evidence supporting eculizumab discontinuation, which may be associated with high collateral risks such as loss of renal function, other authors believe that the drug can be safely discontinued with close patient monitoring. In this editorial, we update the pros and cons for eculizumab discontinuation in aHUS.
非典型溶血性尿毒症综合征(aHUS)是一种危及生命的疾病,对此需进行及时诊断并使用依库珠单抗进行治疗。复发时间以及依库珠单抗停药后有复发风险的患者情况尚不清楚。一些作者认为没有临床证据支持停用依库珠单抗,因为这可能会带来如肾功能丧失等高附带风险,而其他作者则认为在对患者进行密切监测的情况下可以安全地停用该药物。在这篇社论中,我们阐述了在aHUS中停用依库珠单抗的利弊。
