Abstract
Hyperhemolysis syndrome (HHS) is a rare and severe posttransfusion complication characterized by the destruction of both recipient and donor red blood cells. The underlying mechanism of HHS is not fully understood and proper management can be difficult. Furthermore, there are few reports regarding HHS in pregnancy. We report on the development and management of HHS in a pregnant woman with known compound sickle cell disease (SCD)/β0-thalassemia and alloimmunization after transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC). We aim to raise awareness on this diagnostically challenging and life-threatening type of hemolysis with this report, and to stress the need to consider the diagnosis of HHS in SCD patients with progressive anemia despite PRBC administration.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
