Atypical HUS Diagnosis: 2021 Survey of Patient Experiences
aHUS Global Action – Patient & Caregiver Insights & Pathways
“The patient’s journey to aHUS diagnosis is as individual as the patients themselves.”
The aHUS alliance Global Action conducted a survey to provide an the opportunity for adult patients and aHUS pediatric caregivers around the world to share their own experience and perception of the aHUS diagnosis process.
Open from 25 November 2020 through 19 January 2021, the survey goals were to capture diagnosis process timelines, aHUS symptom severity and its impact on health. The 42 question poll, with 227 participants across all 7 continents, provided the opportunity to gain more understanding of the atypical HUS diagnosis pathway and what patients thought or felt about their experiences. Greater awareness of this very rare disease can foster more rapid and accurate diagnosis of atypical HUS, which may lead to research advancements and promote better patient outcomes. Collectively that evidence of patient perceptions can be used to inform, educate and help shape better diagnosis experiences for those yet to suffer an aHUS onset.
