He needs Transplantation. But unfortunately recurrence of HUS in post Transplantation period is high if his HUS is due to genetic causes. You can go either for Cadaver Transplantation (preferable) or for live related Transplantation after with caution. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
