Clinical parameters which should be monitored to determine treatment efficacy and disease progression [10, 47]

Hematologic measurements Renal measurements Other measurements
Complete blood counts and electrolyte panels should be monitored frequently, even daily Proteinuria should be assessed via random urine protein and creatinine quantification Assessment of changes in the need for transfusions (red cell and platelet) should be completed, particularly within first 100 days post-transplant
Schistocytes should be assessed routinely via peripheral blood smears Kidney function monitoring should be assessed to monitor signs of acute kidney injury Routine monitoring for viremias such as BK virus and adenovirus is required
Lactate dehydrogenase levels should be measured twice weekly Blood pressure measurements should be routinely captured to monitor for hypertension
Serum soluble C5b-9 concentrations should be assessed, if feasible Cardiac monitoring via echocardiography should be performed in symptomatic patients with suspected/confirmed thrombotic microangiopathy, particularly in hypoxemic patients requiring intensive care
Assessment of oxygen requirements (e.g., unexplained increase in oxygen needs or improvements following treatment)
If feasible, biopsies can be considered as required, following strict risk–benefit assessments
