Thrombotic microangiopathy with ANCA-associated vasculitis in a child: a case report and review of literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case with acute renal failure, pulmonary bleeding, rashes and abdominal pain in a 9-yearold girl suffered from Thrombotic mircroangiopathy (TMA). The reason of TMA was ANCA-related vasculitis, which was seldom seen in pediatric patients. This type of patient is easily misdiagnosed as henoch-schoenlein purpura. The patient was given prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for the treatment of ANCA-related vasculitis. The renal function returned to normal and proteinuria decreased dramatically.
