Objective:
To analyze the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) in liver transplant recipients.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted of 3 patients who developed AIHA following orthotopic liver transplantation. The results of hemolysis tests and examinations of hemoglobin, white blood cells, platelets, total bilirubin, and alanine aminotransferase before and after treatments were reviewed.
Results:
These 3 patients developed AIHA following the transplantation possibly in association with the use of immunosuppressive agents, and the condition was effectively controlled after corresponding treatments.
Conclusion:
AIHA is a uncommon complication after liver transplantation and can be cured after a definitive diagnosis with corresponding treatments.
