OVERVIEW
In this live, interactive program, expert faculty will present and discuss the most recent data and clinical advances as well as provide expert perspectives on optimal clinical decision-making for three rare, complex hematologic disorders marked by dysfunction of the complement cascade: atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA). Clinical case vignettes will be highlighted throughout the event with an emphasis on the patient voice and making choices for improving quality of life.
