This multicenter, observational cohort study uses retrospective collection of past medical history and prospective follow-up to capture longitudinal data on the management and clinical outcomes of patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) treated with ravulizumab as part of routine clinical practice under Poland's National Drug Program (NDP).

Proportion of patient attaining Complete Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) Response during observation (naïve)
In order to achieve the primary objectives, the following variables will be estimated: To assess ravulizumab primary treatment outcome in Polish patients with aHUS
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Proportion of patients attaining/maintaining. Complete TMA Response during observation (switched)
In order to achieve the primary objectives, the following variables will be estimated: To assess ravulizumab primary treatment outcome in Polish patients with aHUS
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Time to Complete TMA Response
Time from initiation of ravulizumab to TMA Response: continuous variable (days; specify when complete response criteria are met)
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Proportion of dialysis-free patients
In order to achieve the secondary objectives, the following variables will be estimated
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Complete TMA response
In order to achieve the secondary objectives, the following variables will be estimated: * Platelet count (≥150 x 109/L) * Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels (≤ULN) * Serum creatinine (≤ULN for age or an improvement \> 25% compared to baseline),
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Proportion of patients with lab results normalization during observation
Laboratory Parameters: * platelet count (≥150 x 109/L)\*, * lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels (≤ULN), * serum creatinine (≤ULN for age or an improvement \> 25% compared to baseline), * serum creatinine improvement of \>50% compared to baseline * estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, * increase in haemoglobin of ≥ 20 g/L

Time frame: Up to 24 months
Change from baseline in CKD stage, as evaluated by the physician over time
In order to achieve the secondary objectives, the following variables will be estimated: CKD stage 1 (rather theoretical at baseline, possible following successful treatment): eGFR ≥90 ml/min./1.73m2 CKD stage 2 (rather theoretical at baseline, possible following successful treatment): eGFR 60 - 90 ml/min./1.73m2 CKD stage 3a: eGFR 45 - 59 ml/min./1.73m2 CKD stage 3b: eGFR 30 - 44 ml/min./1.73m2 CKD stage 4: eGFR 15 - 29 ml/min./1.73m2 CKD stage 5: eGFR\< 15 ml/min./1.73m2 CKD stage 5D: need for dialysis independent from eGFR value
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Change from baseline in proteinuria status over time
In order to achieve the secondary objectives, the following variables will be estimated: At least one of the following numbers describing the highest proteinuria and/or albuminuria: * urine protein-to-creatinine ratio \[mg/g\] (preferred) * urine protein loss \[mg/24 hours\] * urine protein concentration \[mg/dl\] * urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio \[mg/g\] (preferred) * urine albumin loss \[mg/24 hours\] Urine protein reduction to ≤ 500 mg/g (500 mg/24 hours) Urine protein reduction by ≥50% from baseline Time to urine protein reduction to ≤ 500 mg/g (500 mg/24 hours) Time to urine protein reduction by ≥50% from baseline
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Change from baseline in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue; adults) and Pediatric Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (Peds FACIT-F; pediatric patients) score overtime (naïve)
FACIT-Fatigue - scoring ranges from 0 (highest fatigue) to 52 (lowest fatigue), where higher scores indicate lower levels of fatigue. Peds FACIT-F - scoring ranges from 0 (highest fatigue) to 52 (lowest fatigue), where higher scores indicate lower levels of fatigue.
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Change form baseline in EQ- 5D-5L (adults) and EQ-5D-Y- 5L (paediatric patients) score overtime (naïve)
EQ-5D-5L/EQ-5D-Y-5L consists of 2 pages: EQ-5D descriptive system and EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). EQ-5D/EQ-5D-Y comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. EQ VAS - scale rating from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state)
Time frame: Up to 24 months
