Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Associated with Complement Factor H Mutation and IgA Nephropathy: A Case Report Successfully Treated with Eculizumab.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recently, two isoforms of cyclooxygenase (COX) have been identified, a constitutive form (COX-1) and a mitogen-inducible form (COX-2). Several studies have suggested that COX is activated in renal insufficiency, but little is known about the relationship between progression of renal insufficiency and the COX...
