Abstract
Abstract: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) defined by the triad of hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. Microthrombi develop in the glomerular capillaries secondary to endothelial damage and exert shear stress on red blood cells, consume platelets, and contribute to renal dysfunction and failure. Per current understanding of pathophysiology, HUS is classified into infectious, secondary, and atypical disease. The most common etiology is infectious sequelae of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC); other causative organisms include shigella and salmonella. Secondary HUS arises from cancer, chemotherapy, solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant, pregnancy, or autoimmune disorders. Primary atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) is associated with genetic mutations in complement and complement regulatory proteins. Under physiologic conditions, complement regulators keep the alternative complement system continuously active at low levels. In times of inflammation, mutations in complement-related proteins lead to uncontrolled complement activity. The hyperactive inflammatory state leads to glomerular endothelial damage, activation of the coagulation cascade, and TMA findings. Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome is a rare disorder with a prevalence of 2.21 to 9.4 per million people aged 20 years or younger; children between the ages of 0 and 4 are most affected. Multidisciplinary health care is necessary for timely management of its extra-renal manifestations. These include vascular disease of the heart, brain, and skin, pulmonary hypertension and hemorrhage, and pregnancy complications. Adequate screening is required to monitor for sequelae. First-line treatment is the monoclonal antibody eculizumab, but several organ systems may require specialized interventions and coordination of care with sub-specialists. Keywords: atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, eculizumab, plasma exchange, complications, extra-renal manifestations

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
