In the setting of severe infection and active autoimmune disease, complement activation may reflect a secondary process rather than primary atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is standard therapy for anti-GBM disease, but alternative antibody removal strategies are required when TPE is not tolerated.</p><p><strong>Case presentation: </strong>We describe a 46-year-old female with anti-GBM disease who developed TMA with preserved ADAMTS13 activity (72.04%) and 2.3% schistocytes on peripheral smear. Soluble C5b-9 was elevated in the context of severe concurrent infection. TPE was discontinued due to intolerance (oxygen desaturation, fever, and dizziness). Seven sessions of protein A immunoadsorption (PAIA) were performed for selective antibody removal, and anti-GBM antibody levels decreased from > 400 to 20.80 RU/mL during treatment. Eculizumab was administered on Days 7, 14, and 30, for persistent complement activation.
