Attempts at weaning plasma exchange were unsuccessful due to increased hemolytic activity, forcing us to maintain 3 sessions a week until the diagnosis of the subcapsular liver hematoma. We performed a total of 44 plasma exchange sessions. Hemodialysis was commenced on the 15th day of admission to manage her renal failure. Eculizumab was administered at a dose of 900<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg per week for 4 weeks, started on the 85th day after admission, followed by a dosage of 1200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg 1 week later and then a maintenance dose of 1200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg every 2 weeks. During the first days of eculizumab usage, we could not use hemoglobin neither lactate dehydrogenase to monitor hematologic response attending to the presence of the subcapsular liver hematoma that would distort their interpretation. Hemodialysis was stopped 26 days after the first infusion of eculizumab. Eculizumab is still being continued on the maintenance schedule of 1200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg every 2 weeks.
