Abstract

Introduction

Sporadic cases of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) have been described in the literature in association with COVID-19 infection and vaccination in adults and pediatric patients. The exact mechanisms underlying COVID-19–associated thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) remain incompletely understood. Herein, we present a detailed meta-analysis of the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and management strategies of COVID-19–associated aHUS and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).

Methods

This study was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses updated guidelines. PubMed was utilized for searching for case reports and series. Adverse outcome at last follow-up was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min per 1.73 m² (patients with aHUS), no remission with therapy, or patient death. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon rank and Chi-square tests.

Results

Our analysis cohort included 118 studies reporting on 170 patients. These included 84 cases of aHUS and 86 cases of TTP resulting from COVID-19 infection (n = 92) or vaccination (n = 78). Significantly more cases of aHUS were reported after infection (n = 65) than immunization (n = 19), compared to TTP, where the reverse was true (n = 27 and n = 59, respectively; P < 0.001). In patients with aHUS with stage 3 acute kidney injury (AKI), requirement of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) was seen in three-fourths of the cohort for a median of 15. In patients with TTP, severe COVID-19 infection (P = 0.04) predicted nonremission or death at last follow-up. Administration of i.v., rituximab and caplacizumab were protective (P = 0.03 and P = 0.06, respectively). Immune TTP (iTTP) was reported more often than HUS following mRNA vaccines (81% vs. 58%; P = 0.06).

Conclusion

COVID-19 infection and vaccination are a potential trigger for onset or relapse of aHUS and TTP, especially in patients who are not on maintenance complement inhibitors or immunosuppression.

个体患者数据的系统性回顾 COVID-19 感染和疫苗接种相关性血栓性微血管病

文献中描述了成人和儿童患者感染 COVID-19 和接种 COVID-19 疫苗后出现非典型溶血性尿毒症（aHUS）的零星病例。COVID-19相关的血栓性微血管病（TMAs）的确切机制仍不完全清楚。在此，我们对 COVID-19 相关性 aHUS 和血栓性血小板减少性紫癜（TTP）的临床特征、预后和管理策略进行了详细的荟萃分析。本研究遵循《系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目》（Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses）最新指南进行。利用 PubMed 搜索病例报告和系列研究。最后一次随访时的不良结局定义为估计肾小球滤过率< 30 ml/min per 1.73 m（aHUS 患者）、治疗无缓解或患者死亡。数据采用 Wilcoxon 秩检验和卡方检验进行分析。我们的分析队列包括 118 项研究，报告了 170 例患者。其中包括 84 例 aHUS 和 86 例由 COVID-19 感染（= 92 例）或疫苗接种（= 78 例）引起的 TTP。感染后的 aHUS 病例（= 65 例）明显多于免疫接种后的病例（= 19 例），而 TTP 病例则相反（分别为 = 27 例和 = 59 例；< 0.001）。在急性肾损伤（AKI）3期的aHUS患者中，四分之三的患者需要接受肾脏替代治疗（KRT），中位数为15天。在TTP患者中，严重的COVID-19感染（=0.04）预示着最后一次随访时将出现不缓解或死亡。静脉注射利妥昔单抗和卡普拉珠单抗具有保护作用（分别为0.03和0.06）。接种 mRNA 疫苗后，免疫性 TTP (iTTP) 的报告率高于 HUS（81% 对 58%; = 0.06）。COVID-19 感染和疫苗接种是 aHUS 和 TTP 发病或复发的潜在诱因，尤其是在未使用补体抑制剂或免疫抑制剂的患者中。
