Part Description

LP268095-9   Eculizumab
Eculizumab is monoclonal antibody that binds to the C5 complement component and is used to treat atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). aHUS is characterized by hemolytic anemia that leads to the presence of schistocytes, thrombocytopenia, renal damage, and other organ system impairment. aHUS is caused by a rare genetic mutation that interferes with the regulation of the complement system and leads to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Prior to the development of eculizumab, the only treatment for aHUS was plasmapheresis, which did not stop progressive organ impairment. Eculizumab is an extremely expensive but effective therapy against aHUS and provides good outcomes and improved quality of life for patients with aHUS. Eculizumab has also been found to increase the possibility for the repair of renal damage. PMID: 27766045Measurement of eculizumab in serum is used for monitoring and therapy optimization.
