Abstract
Hemolysis due to donor-derived B lymphocytes has been reported in patients who have undergone ABO-nonidentical orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Yet, until now, little was known about the management of this transplantation-induced hemolysis. In this report we describe our experience with hemolysis in a patient after OLT. In addition, based on theoretical assumption, we hypothesize that corticosteroids can be helpful in the management of ABO-nonidentical OLT-induced hemolysis.Keywords
