    Abstract

    Here we present a case of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in a patient who has a background of Stage 5 chronic kidney disease secondary to Alport syndrome. We explain our approach to the diagnosis of TMA, especially the reliance on non-renal manifestations of TMA and the role of kidney biopsy given there was a background of advanced kidney impairment at baseline.
