<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">aHUS</jats:styled-content>) is a rare disease characterized by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. In 2013, we developed diagnostic criteria to enable early diagnosis and timely initiation of appropriate treatment for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">aHUS</jats:styled-content>. Recent clinical and molecular findings have resulted in several proposed classifications and definitions of thrombotic microangiopathy and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">aHUS</jats:styled-content>. Based on recent advances in this field and the emerging international consensus to exclude secondary <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">TMA</jats:styled-content>s from the definition of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">aHUS</jats:styled-content>, we have redefined <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">aHUS</jats:styled-content> and proposed diagnostic algorithms, differential diagnosis, and therapeutic strategies for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">aHUS</jats:styled-content>.</jats:p>
