Excerpt

The differential diagnostic options we considered:

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) [atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), cobalamin deficiency-associated HUS, non-Shiga toxin-infectious HUS, ADAMTS13 deficiency]
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Polyarteritis nodosa
Neuroblastoma/pheochromocytoma
Tumor lysis syndrome secondary to leukemia
Sepsis with acute kidney injury (AKI)
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
Hyperthyroidism (adenoma, auto immune)
Other causes of glomerulonephritis, e.g. C3 glomerulonephritis/post-infectious glomerulonephritis.
